Editorial: Summer project for legislators

Cleveland Plain Dealer

Ohio's House and Senate spent the summer stalling like a teenager avoiding as signed reading, but they finally seem to have succumbed to reality.

Both chambers are to act next month on a measure that missed resolution before lawmakers scattered last month at the end of their regular session...

OFCC PAC Commentary:
Just when you thought they were going to do their duty to send HB12 to the governor...

The story is referring to the General Assembly's plans to return to finalize school accountability legislation that, if delayed, would result in the loss of $400 million in federal money.

Some are apparently less concerned with the loss of life which continues to mount due to delayed action on HB12.

Both houses have scheduled their meeting dates (Aug. 7 for the Senate; Aug. 12 for the House). Since we know they'll be in the office, perhaps a few reminders are in order that they left other business unfinished when they left for the summer.
