Time to repeal I-71 interchange mandate at Boston Road: Melanie Miller

Sharon Ray's House Bill 276 and state Sen. Mark Romanchuk's Senate Bill 155, respectively.

It is now why I am fighting diligently alongside my colleagues and constituents to prevent this interchange from becoming a reality. I'm so proud of so many of my constituents who have made the trip to Columbus numerous times to make their voices heard at the Statehouse.
