Rep. Liston statement as transportation budget clears House

State Rep. Beth Liston (D-Dublin) today released a statement following the House passage of House Bill 62, the two-year state transportation budget.

“While I am happy we were able to see increased investments in public transit and support for local communities, the fact remains that working families and seniors on fixed incomes—those who did everything right—should not have to pay more in taxes to make up for failed leadership over the past eight years.

“I remain hopeful that we can work together to strengthen our communities and move our state forward with a real, sustainable plan to restore funding to our local communities.”
