Ohio Senate looking to use billions in unclaimed funds to build new Browns stadium
A new plan from state lawmakers has more people checking to see if unclaimed money might be theirs. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] The state of Ohio is safeguarding nearly $4 billion in unclaimed funds. Some of that money could be yours. News Center 7's John Bedell spoke to Daytonians about Ohio's unclaimed funds. Ernie Bunch said he has 'heard about it' but never checked if he's owed money. So News Center 7 checked with Bunch, who had money waiting for him. TRENDING STORIES: Brand new aviation video shows man throwing wood at deputies, causing wrong-way crash on I-75 37-year-old woman dies from injuries after head-on crash Leader of hit-making '70s funk group dies 'That's amazing, okay,' he said. Edwin Johnson checked and had over $100. 'Wow, that's pretty good,' Johnson said. The money can come from inactive checking or savings accounts, forgotten utility deposits, and more. In all, the state is safeguarding $3.7 billion. The Ohio Senate wants to move $1.7 billion of that — all of it money that's been sitting in unclaimed funds for 10 years or longer — into a new sports and cultural projects fund. Approximately $600 million of that would go to the Cleveland Browns for their new stadium project. The team wants to build a dome about 15 miles from their current lakefront stadium in neighboring Brook Park. The day before the Ohio Senate plan became public, Ohioans filed a little more than 1,400 claims for unclaimed money. The day of the announcement, claims jumped nearly six times to more than 8,000. 'For context, our news releases and social media ads generate about a 25-57% increase historically when sent out or posted. The increase in number of searches for unclaimed funds and the submissions of claims recently is consistent with the times we've had national coverage … and any of that paid/earned coverage mentioned above," Ohio Department of Commerce Spokesperson Franking Freytag said. This is the third proposal from state leaders in the debate over how, or whether, to help the Browns' stadium project. Gov. Mike DeWine has floated raising taxes on sports betting, the Ohio House wants to issue $600 million in bonds, and now the Senate plan. It has to be settled by the end of the month. You can check if you have unclaimed funds here. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
