All Sides with Ann Fisher - 1-25-2023 A - Ohio's emergency fund and its impact on state residents
 
Play
 
Ohio has a very large, very healthy so-called rainy day fund.

State leaders brag about the billions stashed away for an emergency.

Leaders don't tend to mention that all that money is raking in millions more in interest thanks to the recent rate hikes at the Federal Reserve.

We discuss the implications for everyday Ohioans.

Guests:

David Lieb, Correspondent for The Associated Press
