As we begin 2013 and enter into a new General Assembly, its
important that we
focus on the problems that are affecting our state and our
community. Ohio House
Democrats are reaffirming our dedication to the citizens of Ohio
in the 130th Gen-eral Assembly.
Key issues will be deliberated over the next two years, one of
which will be our
states budget and the future of this great state. Perhaps no
piece of legislation ismore significant to the operation of state
government than the biennial budget bill.
The new budget must be adopted before spending authority under
the old budget
expires. The operating budget provides funding for most state
agencies, and it mustbe passed before June 30th. Governor Kasich is
legally required to submit a budgetproposal to the legislature no
later than four weeks after the beginning of the new
General Assembly. The budget process is helped along by various
committees in the
House of Representatives. Typically, almost all items contained
in the proposed bi-ennial budget will be heard by the Finance and
Appropriations Committee. Needless
to say, we will have a lot of work before us in the upcoming
months.
Committees play a dynamic role in the democratic process by
allowing various par-ticipants to give testimony on a certain bill
that may be of interest to them. As your
representative, I encourage you to attend these public hearings
and possibly testify
on some of the issues we will see in this General Assembly.
The House of Representatives has numerous standing committees.
In the 130thGeneral Assembly, we have seen an introduction of some
committees that we didnt
have previously. The committees on Manufacturing & Workforce
Development and
Policy & Legislative Oversight will be new to members this
year. There has also beena consolidation of past committees that
formerly oversaw legal and judiciary issues.The current committee
lineup for the 130th General Assembly is as follows:
Agriculture and Natural Resources Commerce, Labor and Technology
EconomicDevelopment and Regulatory Reform Education Finance and
Appropriations
Financial Institutions, Housing and Urban Development Health and
Aging Insur-
ance Judiciary Manufacturing and Workforce Development Military
and Veter-ans Affairs Policy and Legislative Oversight Public
Utilities Rules and Refer-
ence State and Local Government Transportation, Public Safety
and HomelandSecurity Ways and Means
I am excited for this new General Assembly and the opportunity
to serve you on the
Economic Development and Regulatory Reform committee, Education
committee,
Finance and Appropriations committee, and the subcommittee on
Agriculture andDevelopment. Please do not hesitate to contact the
office with any questions, com-ments, or suggestions you may have.
I am here to listen to your concerns and ideas
for improving our great state of Ohio.
Sincerely,
Dear Constituents,
Ohio House Dems
