No you haven't been drafted!!!!!
Younger commissioners may need to speak to one of their "more experienced" commissioners to truly understand that!!! The legislative session is over and I think there are a bunch of people that are breathing sighs of relief. We lost on some bills, but we won on some bills too. It appears we may get some relief from the jail bills due to a couple of bills that did make it. I would personally like to thank Vivian, Jim Bowen, our legislative committee and any and all commissioners that visited the capitol, emailed, called or otherwise brow beat their representatives to further our cause!!
Vivian and Jim did an outstanding job of representing this organization and defending our views and again, I would like to thank them very, very much. We have our Board meeting coming up in Wood County at the Blennerhassett. I hope to see everyone there and be prepared for some lively discussion. We need to start mapping our legislative ideas now so we can be ready for the next session. Once again, thanks to all that helped during this past session, and stay healthy!!!! |

Another legislative session enters the history books! Over 1800 bills were introduced in the regular session, but only 215 bills actually made it through both houses and have been sent to the Governor for signature. Following the close of the regular session on April 13th at midnight, the Governor called a special session that ended on April 19th and produced 5 more bills for the Governor to sign.
