Legislation to Help Military - Ohio Patriot Plan - Update - The Ohio Patriot would provide Ohioans in the military and their families with some added protection and benefits while they are serving overseas. The sponsor is Rep Peter Ujvagi from Toledo. (district47@ohr.state.oh.us)
The Ohio Patriot Plan now has a bill no. (House Bill 426 http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=125_HB_426.). I attended a press conference in Columbus on the plan on March 9 with 49 supporters from the Ohio House of Representatives. Testimony in favor of the bill is scheduled for March 23rd at 1500 - I'll be there to testify. Once it gets out of the house, it still needs Ohio Senate approval. One Ohio state senator to contact is Senator Robert Gardner from Madison, Ohio. His e-mail is SD18@mailr.sen.state.oh.us
Rep Ujvagi's comments on the Plan are here: http://www.610wtvn.com/audio/news/ujvagi.mp3
Thanks for your support. I'll keep providing updates.
