U.S. Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15) has announced a special scholarship.
ProgressOhio:
U.S. Representative Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15) today announced that children of military personnel who died in the line of duty since Sept. 11, 2001 can apply for an educational scholarship similar to the new Post-9/11 GI Bill due to the implementation of the “Fry Scholarship” law she helped pass in Congress last year. Benefits are retroactive to Aug. 1, 2009.
“It’s imperative to keep the promise we make to our military and their families the moment they commit to serve our country and protect us” said Kilroy. “Honoring those who have fallen by making a pledge to their families is no replacement for a father or mother, but this scholarship will give children of our fallen opportunities they deserve.”

**** According to the FEC website, individuals who work for banks, have contributed to the Steve Stivers campaign. Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, is a Republican candidate for Congress. These individual bankers represent the banks listed below: (THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE PACs.)
Delaware County Bank
First Community Bank
Park National Bank
Comerica Inc. Bank
National City Bank
Huntington National Bank
Arlington Bank
JP Morgan Chase
There are plenty of lobbyists too. Individual contributions have been sent to Stivers from representatives employed by financial firms such as----- Ameriprise, CAMCO Financial, Stonehedge Investments, UBS, Everhart Financial Wealth Management, Diamond Hill Investments, etc.
Are you seeing a pattern here???? It appears that these bankers, lobbyists, and investment firms know a good bank lobbyist when they see one! They know Stivers will have their backs!
