Legislation expected to create 142 thousand jobs in Ohio and provide tax relief for more than four million Ohioans.

Washington, D.C. -- U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that the Senate version of the economic recovery legislation includes $6.8 billion in funds for Ohio and is estimated to provide tax relief for nearly 4.2 million Ohioans. The bill is expected to create nearly 142,000 jobs across the state.

"This bill is about creating jobs in Ohio and investing in the middle class," said Brown. "It will create jobs by investing in our state's infrastructure and grow the economy by investing in Ohio's workers. It would also provide tax relief for more than four million Ohioans. It's critical that we pass this bill which would provide short-term relief while putting our nation's economy back on track."
