I am excited to announce that last week the Ohio House passed House Bill 413 with a bipartisan vote of 91-4. This legislation, sponsored by Representative Tom Young and myself, expands transparency and accountability in government spending across Ohio.
HB 413 strengthens the Ohio Checkbook program by requiring political subdivisions to provide both expenditure and revenue information in a public, easy-to-access database so taxpayers can better
see how their dollars are being spent.
The bill now heads to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.

Still taking time to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who gave everything for our freedom. Memorial Day we all take time to remember and honor our fallen hero’s.
I was honored to attend and be apart of some local meaningful events this past weekend and Monday. After being apart of the Middletown Memorial Day parade, I attended the Memorial Day ceremony at Woodside Cemetery. I had the chance to meet and talk briefly with the Grand Marshall of the parade, Bruce McRoberts, whom is a proud World War II veteran and recently celebrated his 100th birthday. It was especially cool to see him receive a flag from our office that was flown over the Ohio Statehouse!
