· Official legislative page
“Responsible budgeting by Republican leadership, over the past few years, is allowing the flexibility to provide gas tax relief now. Farmers, truckers, and small businesses depend on diesel to transport goods. These costs are then passed on to consumers. I am proud to help lead this bold effort to benefit Ohioans.”
(Official legislative website (ohiohouse.gov)) “This commonsense legislation will benefit every Ohio driver. Thanks to the responsible budgeting of Republican leadership, we were able to answer the call for help that will immediately benefit Ohioans.”
