Dozens of Ohio's state parks would be closed and thousands of state employees would lose their jobs if "worst case" budget-cuts come to pass.
The reports from Ohio agencies paint a grim picture.
The worst case options include closing six prisons, cutting food inspections and reducing flu vaccines.
Other cuts include ending 2,300 college scholarships and shutting down Ohio National Guard's Air Force and Army.
Governor Ted Strickland asked state agencies to look at what they would do if forced to make 10%, 20% and 30% cuts.
Ohio faces a more than $3 billion deficit.
Those scenarios come as we learn Ohio has seen one of the largest jumps in new sign-ups for unemployment benefits.
Claims are up by more than 5,100 in the latest week because of auto industry layoffs.
Nationwide, new claims rose only slightly.
