Today, state Senator Nickie Antonio (D-Lakewood) issued the following statement in response to the Ohio Legislature passing House Bill 197, which included temporary law provisions to address the COVID-19 pandemic:
“I was pleased to travel to Columbus today to cast my vote for this important bill that helps curb the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am particularly relieved that an amendment prohibiting public water disconnections was added, a critical component that will ensure the health and safety of our citizens. The bill also protects our democracy by allowing registered voters who have not yet cast a ballot in the 2020 primary to vote by mail until April 28. We still have more to do and I look forward to continuing to work on the many issues that impact Ohioans every day, especially in the face of this unprecedented crisis.”
