Building a broader state budget
GOP tries to help foster kids, poor families
Marshall, Aaron. Cleveland Plain Dealer, June 5, 2007.

Topping the list of other changes in the latest version of the state budget: A pair of proposals to increase spending of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) money and a second pair that would affect Ohio's foster children.
With the changes expected to be included in a substitute bill that will be officially announced today, Republican lawmakers on Monday were coy about the details embedded in the state's $52 billion spending blueprint. But details began to leak out anyway.
