COLUMBUS - State Senator Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) today released the following statement regarding the Senate's concurrence vote on Senate Bill 22:
"Over the past 12 months, the legislature has heard from struggling constituents across the state who felt they had no voice in the decisions being made about their health, safety and welfare. Senate Bill 22 is about giving the citizens of Ohio a voice in matters of public health and restoring the natural separation of powers that should exist in any form of government. No matter how good the intent is, the constitution remains in effect, and the executive branch must be subject to checks and balances. The amendments from the Ohio House strengthen Senate Bill 22, and I am thankful to my colleagues for passing this legislation."
