ACE Action Alert - Advocates for Children and Education
OEA members and Ohio’s public schools face critical challenges this General Assembly. The Governor recently released his biennial budget proposal, which includes a new school funding formula, the statewide expansion of vouchers and a massive income tax cut that mostly benefits wealthy Ohioans and drains $4.3 billion from much-needed state revenue.
Now more than ever you must make sure your voice is heard! Member Lobby Days provide an opportunity to meet with state legislators to discuss key issues that impact you directly.
The first member lobby day of this General Assembly is scheduled for Wednesday, March 20th, 2013. To RSVP, please email Julie Parsley at parsleyj@ohea.org. A briefing from OEA’s lobbyists will begin at 9:00 a.m. in the Media Center at OEA Headquarters (225 East Broad Street, Columbus, 43215). Parking is available at nearby surface lots, in the parking garage just south of the OEA building or on the street at parking meters. Please be sure to schedule a meeting with your legislators prior to attending lobby day. Contact information for members of the House and Senate can be found by going to www.legislature.state.oh.us.
