CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine did his part Monday to clear a path for a new domed stadium to be built for the Cleveland Browns in suburban Brook Park by budgeting $600 million from the state’s unclaimed property fund to cover a fourth of the cost.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the state's two-year budget, including an income tax cut for high earners and $600 million for the Cleveland Browns' new domed stadium.

With his signature late Monday night, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has allowed a controversial funding plan for a new Cleveland Browns stadium to go forward. The state will tap its multi-billion-dollar pool of unclaimed funds — money which belongs to ordinary Ohioans — to pay for the Browns’ stadium and other sports and cultural facilities in the future.
