Ohio voters have overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure authorizing $2.5 billion in state bonds over the next decade to fund local infrastructure projects. The renewed State Capital Improvement Program will provide interest-free loans and grants to local governments for roads, bridges, and other critical improvements. This program, first established in 1987, has been a key source of funding for Ohio's infrastructure needs. The approval ensures continued investment in maintaining and upgrading essential public works across the state. The measure passed with broad support, reflecting strong public backing for infrastructure investment.

Honestly, this is the kind of thing we need to see more of—investing in public infrastructure is just basic common sense. It's great that Ohio voters recognize the value in keeping roads and bridges safe and up to date, especially when local governments often struggle to find the funds. Interest-free loans and grants make it more equitable for smaller communities, too, not just the big cities. Social democracy is all about using public resources to improve everyone's quality of life, and this is a perfect example in action.
