New We Are Ohio Office Opens....

In an article in the Athensnews.com, the mayor of Athens, Paul Wiehl, believes that SB5 would "...demean the police force..."

The Athensnews article also provided the  announcement for the location of the new
We Are Ohio office at 18 N. College in Athens.  The volunteer and information office is conveniently located near Ohio University.

*  Now that the job fair sponsored by Republican Rep. Steve Stivers (OH-15) is over, people are wondering if that was his only effort to get people to back to work. Many people realize that the Stivers office must have just called up some of their campaign contributors to show up at his "job fair" that was held a couple of weeks ago.  Stivers has still not sponsored one bill in the House of Representatives that would create one job.

When will Stivers hold a town hall meeting in the Columbus area of his district? Is he hiding out by only having town hall meetings in less populated areas of the 15th district?  There is still a lot of concern about the controversial move of his local congressional office to Hilliard.  Even though Hilliard might be the geographical area of his district, it is not the population center.
