Dear Neighbors:

Here in the Ohio House, my colleagues and I are busy discussing a number of legislative proposals designed to make our state a better place to live and work. During the remaining months of the General Assembly, we hope to build on the achievements of last year, which saw us pass the state operating budget as well as bills improving our foster care system and protecting children from sexual predators.

Currently, my colleagues and I are working on reforms to Ohio’s energy plan. This is a very complex issue, especially as we seek to find the best way to move the state’s energy industry forward while preventing consumers from experiencing massive cost increases. In addition, we are also discussing legislation that would improve our health care system, keep teachers with criminal backgrounds out of the classroom and protect our natural resources such as the Great Lakes. You can find more information about our conversations on these issues inside this newsletter.

As always, I welcome your thoughts on these or any of the matters we discuss here at the Statehouse. Hearing from you allows me to best represent your views and opinions on legislation. I can be reached by phone at (614) 466-3819, by e-mail at district76@ohr.state.oh.us or by writing me, State Representative Cliff Hite, 77 South High Street, District 76, Columbus, OH 43215.

Sincerely,

Cliff Hite
State Representative 
Ohio House District 76
