S.B. 310 appropriates just under $2.13 billion in new capital appropriations for the biennium ending June 30, 2022, and authorizes about $1.75 billion in new debt. The report contains a number of summary reports which break down S.B. 310's capital appropriations by fund and agency, list all new debt authorizations, list all projects by county, and list only community projects by county. These summary reports are followed by a detailed analysis that provides a description of each capital appropriation. The 133rd General Assembly made additional new capital appropriations in S.B. 4, effective October 13, 2020. S.B. 4 appropriates $555.0 million in new capital appropriations for the biennium ending June 30, 2022, and authorizes $525.0 million in new debt. An analysis of the capital appropriations and new debt authorizations in S.B. 4 may be found in LSC's fiscal note for that bill. Including both S.B. 310 and S.B. 4, the 133rd General Assembly’s capital appropriations for new projects total approximately $2.68 billion. Total new debt authorizations amount to $2.28 billion.

  • “Between Two Fires”: War and Reunion in Middle America, 1860-1899
    “Between Two Fires”: War and Reunion in Middle America, 1860-1899 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences 2013 By Matthew E. Stanley M.A., University of Louisville, 2007 B.A., University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, 2005 Committee Chair: Professor Christopher Phillips Abstract From its post-Revolutionary position as the First West to its current status as a political bellwether, the Ohio Valley has always been a liminal space in American history. This dissertation centers on the Civil War, Reconstruction, and sectional reconciliation in the Lower Middle West, with particular emphases on identity, memory, and race. Indeed, if the antebellum West acted as balance between North and South, then the Lower Middle West, a nominally free region dominated by conservative upland Southern political culture, represented a median with the median. The Lower Middle West—part of a vast border area stretching from southern Pennsylvania and northern Virginia along the Ohio River Valley and into Missouri and Kansas that I term ‘Middle America’—was a political and cultural middle space typified by white conservative Unionism. Wartime conservative Unionists—those whites who supported compromise measures, desired only the political restoration of the Union, and who persisted rather than embraced emancipation—are central to understanding the dissent (Copperhead) movement, the Northern white backlash against liberalizing war measures, the Northern rejection of Congressional Reconstruction, the national movement toward sectional reconciliation among whites, and the legacies of white supremacy in the Middle West (labor violence, exclusion laws, sundown towns, lynching, the second incarnation of the KKK).
