RH Jones: At Last, a HC funding bill is re-introduced

From RH Jones, September 20, 2007

To all, especially those in OH Dist. 41:

I am extremely happy to announce that my Akron District 41, Rep. Brian Williams (D), has co-sponsored, with the sponsor, Rep. Scott Oelslager, R- N. Canton, a re-introduced House Bill 315 that will create a continuing source of revenue for Health Care (HC) for the present retired educator and those of the future.

In the Greater Akron Area, Kathy Chandler (Kent), Steve Dyer (Green), and Bill Healy Canton), all Democrats, signed the bill as co-sponsors, as well. From other Ohio districts, the co-signers are a mix of both Democrats and Republicans. This is a tribute to the spirit of co-operation that has been coming out of Columbus since the last election. Akron’s Rep. Brian Williams has been a leader in this co-operation. I have been wrong about the two political parties not being able to work together. This bill proves that they can! Because of this new spirit, it most surely will pass.

As everyone probably knows our HC will run out by 2021, or sooner. This is a bill that is LONG OVERDUE! We elder retired educators have given up so much already. And, I think that I can mention that our GRAY POWER will remember with deep gratitude those wonderful representatives of both parties who signed on to this bill.

In elation,
Robert Hudson Jones, a proud Core member
