COLUMBUS, Ohio-- A legislative commission formed seven months ago to tackle Ohio's pending budget hole has not yet held any meetings.
The six-member Budget Planning and Management Commission has been handed the task of recommending solutions for the 2012-13 budget by Nov. 30.
Democratic House Speaker Armond Budish says the legislature was busy into December fixing the current budget and that preliminary talks have started with Republican Senate President Bill Harris.
Rep. Jay Goyal, a Democratic member of the commission, says he wants the committee to brainstorm about "big-picture ideas."
Rep. Ron Amstutz, a Republican member of the commission, says the group should find a way to work off the deficit over time.
