Call to Action on HB 153
The HB 153 the State Budget has passed out of the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio Senate and is now scheduled before a conference committee. This is our last opportunity to make our voices heard regarding various issues contained in this legislation prior to the bill being sent to the governor. If you are able to please send an e-mail or make a phone call to the members of the conference committee with your concerns. Conferees include Rep. Ron Amstutz (R-Wooster), Rep. John Carey (R-Wellston), Rep. Vernon Sykes (D-Akron), Sen. Chris Widener (R-Springfield), Sen. Michael Skindell (D-Lakewood) and Sen. Shannon Jones (R-Springboro). When speaking with lawmakers please tell them to KEEP the changes made by the Senate to HB 153 for public education. The Senate version of the budget is a step in the right direction.
