Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens , R-Kitts Hill, is facing backlash from a handful of Republican lawmakers.
They say he played favorites with last week's fast-tracked spending bill that allocated $350 million in surplus funds to hundreds of local projects across the state.
Some local lawmakers lauded the bill, which included $37.4 million in projects for Butler , Clark , Montgomery, Greene , Warren , Darke and Preble counties.
But Clark County only got funding for one project worth $ 375,000 .
The numbers passed in the House are subject to change.
The chamber only allocated $350 million of the state's $700 million pool of surplus funds.
The Senate , which likely won't take up the bill until April , is tasked with spending the remaining $ 350million .
