From a verified voter in Dayton, OH4/9The budget proposal outlined raises significant concerns about its impact on the majority of Ohioans.

From a constituent in Dayton, OH4/3Please oppose SB 5, the “Squatter’s Bill.” This bill would trample tenants’ rights by allowing property owners to evict tenants by calling the sheriff’s department and referring to them as "squatters".
