Court Halts $600M Funding Plan for Browns Stadium

A judge has blocked Ohio’s plan to use unclaimed funds to help finance a new stadium for the Cleveland Browns. Magistrate Jennifer Hunt issued a preliminary injunction preventing the state from using roughly $600 million of the funds while a lawsuit proceeds. Lawmakers challenging the plan argue the move is unconstitutional, though the Browns say construction plans for their proposed Brook Park stadium remain on schedule.
