Kasich signs bill

COLUMBUS

Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed Senate Bill 287, a collaborative effort to modernize existing law to better secure and diversify state and local investments. Passed unanimously by both chambers of the Legislature, SB 287 was authored by state Sen. Jim Hughes, a Columbus Republican, and was a companion bill to House Bill 459, introduced by state Rep. Robert Sprague, a Findlay Republican. Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel and local investment authorities supported and provided testimony in favor of these statutory improvements throughout the legislative process.

Prior to SB 287, the state rules that govern investment policies had remained mostly unchanged since 1993, even in the face of significant changes in financial markets and local economies.

Borrowing surges

WASHINGTON

Consumers revved up their borrowing in April, with growth in credit-card debt accelerating at the fastest pace in more than a dozen years.

Overall credit expanded by $26.8 billion during the month, up from an increase of $19.5 billion in March, the Federal Reserve said Friday. The sizable climb is an encouraging sign for the economy, suggesting that consumers are confident enough to boost purchases by borrowing.
