In his two-year state budget proposal released Monday, DeWine proposed raising Ohio's sports gaming tax from 20% to 40% to generate money for professional sports facilities and youth sports. DeWine said the tax hike on sports bettors would bring in $130 million to $180 million a year.

DeWine is calling on the legislature to double the tax rate that those operating Ohio's sports book pay on their profits after all winnings are paid.
