Drew Carey on Proposed Ohio Library Budget Cuts

June 28th, 2009

Cleveland Leader – “Comedian Drew Carey, who grew up in Cleveland, is a proud supporter of public libraries in Ohio. In 2000 he donated all his winnings ($500,000) from an appearance on a special celebrity edition of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” to Ohio public libraries, and was also at the same time working on a series of public service announcements for the Ohio Library Council. While these days he is living out in California and working on “The Price is Right”, Carey still keeps up with the goings-on back in his hometown. Needless to say he was rather disheartened when he heard about Governor Ted Strickland’s plans to slash library budgets by nearly 50 percent.”
