Marriage Equality Could Bring $165 Million To Ohio | A small group working to bring marriage equality to Ohio has released a new report suggesting that the change could earn the state $165 million over three years. Freedom to Marry Ohio, which is collecting signatures for a ballot initiative to overturn Ohio’s ban on same-sex marriage, suggests that as many as half of the state’s 19,700 same-sex couples might marry in the first three years, as would many from other states. The Columbus area could see an impact of $20 million, and Cleveland $11 million. Read the full report.
