Representative C. Allison Russo - District 7

COLUMBUS — State Rep. C. Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) today called on Governor Mike DeWine to veto key provisions in the state operating budget that risk our healthcare, cut our public schools, and give huge handouts to billionaires. 

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) today voted “NO” on House Bill (HB) 96, the Republican-crafted state operating budget, citing cruel and chaotic cuts and its abject failure to invest in children, public education, healthcare, and basic services – all while shoveling billions to the wealthy and well-connected. 

COLUMBUS – Today, in an effort organized by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), House Minority Leader Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) and more than 800 state and local elected officials signed onto a bipartisan letter to oppose the budget bill, which would severely hurt Ohio and communities nationwide. The letter warns that significant cuts at the federal level and added administrative costs will cause massive budget shortfalls and put an impossible burden on states to meet. As a result, deeper cuts would have to be made at the state and local levels, hurting local economies and impacting every sector from health care to public safety. 

COLUMBUS — The Ohio House Democratic Caucus today voted against concurrence with the Ohio Senate’s version of the state operating budget, House Bill (HB) 96.
