Several authorities in the city of Columbus appear on the state's unused list of funds


The unused fund website in Ohio is pursuing an increase in traffic after the legislator recently approved a plan to provide part of the fund of $ 4 billion to government projects and expenses.

Charles Ballour was surprised when he found that he waited money from an old 401 (K) payment for him.

“Wow, that's crazy and it is only there for everyone,” he said, after checking Ohio's unused fund website. First feared ballour, he could owe money.

“Wow, surprised, I thought like my wife, you would say that I owe $ 6,000 … I would run, his name is Buford,” he said. “So I'm glad to be Charles, I'll definitely check it.”

Ballour belongs to many inhabitants in Ohio who are now looking for the website of the Ministry of Commerce after the legislators of more than a billion US dollar expenditure expenses for more than a billion dollar, which have not been sent together for over a decade.

This includes 600 million US dollars assigned to the New Browns Stadium.

An ABC 6 examination showed that the city of Columbus also gives money.

There are more than 330 open accounts for various agencies, including the treasurer's office, public security, the police, fire, parks and relaxation. While the website does not indicate the payment for each account, more than 176 accounts over 100 US dollars contain.

“Really, wow, that's great,” said ballour when he learned that the city also owe money. The payments owed to the city sit in the state unused funds and come from banks, insurance companies, supply companies and some companies for office equipment.

The mayor's office is currently working to provide ABC 6 information about the steps that the city is making to regain these means and how much was collected.

Ballour is less than 50 US dollars from its old age account and is already planning to claim it. “If there is money for me, I'll be happy to take it,” he said.
