❌ HB54
Make appropriations for transportation for FY 2026-27 biennium
Summary
HB54 makes appropriations for transportation programs for the fiscal years 2026-2027, including funding for highway construction, maintenance, public transportation, and related infrastructure projects. It outlines the allocation of funds from various sources, including federal and state funds, and establishes conditions for the operation of these programs.
Rationale
The bill primarily involves government appropriations and funding for transportation infrastructure, which may conflict with Libertarian principles advocating for minimal government intervention and spending. The Libertarian Party opposes government spending and control over markets, while the Libertarian Party of Ohio expresses concerns over government overreach and taxation, both of which are relevant to this bill's provisions.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government spending
- Potential for cronyism in contracting
- Expansion of government control over transportation
