RH Jones re: Ohio energy bill and HB 315

From RH Jones, April 23, 2008
Subject: Agreement on energy bill-next HB. 315?

To all:

Today, 04/23/08, the media announced the long awaited passage of Ohio (OH) energy bill. It involved, thankfully, compromises by the Republican Party. This bill’s passage -- only one vote against -- will help to gain a healthy economy for OH.

With both parties now balanced, it is the time to consider another forward move for OH: that of passage of HB. 315. This bill will provide funding help for retired teacher health care (HC). With Pre-K-12 education skills, technical training skills and skills needing college education, the state needs to attract competent and well-qualified instructors. HB. 315 will help in doing just that. The need is there, and HB. 315 is there to provide this essential legislation. This wonderfully crafted bipartisan bill needs quick passage!

This is the opinion of a voter who wants the best for his state and its people,
