Ohio Governor Mike DeWine rolled out a proposal that would double the state's sports gaming tax from 20 to 40%.

"Our professional sports in Ohio are very valuable to us.” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine wants to double the tax on sports gambling — money that could partially pay for building a new stadium for the Cleveland Browns.

In his two-year state budget proposal released Monday, DeWine proposed raising Ohio's sports gaming tax from 20% to 40% to generate money for professional sports facilities and youth sports. DeWine said the tax hike on sports bettors would bring in $130 million to $180 million a year.
