COLUMBUS – State Reps. Tristan Rader (D-Lakewood) and Michele Grim (D-Toledo) today announced the reintroduction of the Ohio Health Care Plan, landmark legislation that would establish a single-payer, universal health care system to guarantee comprehensive medical, dental, and vision services for every Ohioan—regardless of income, employment, or health status.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Michele Grim (D-Toledo) today voted “NO” on the vote to override a school district property tax levy restriction provision vetoed in House Bill 96 (the state operating budget). Line-item 66 would eliminate several types of levies, limiting the choices voters have in how to support their schools and local governments, and would not provide real property tax relief to Ohioans. Real property tax relief is one of the most pressing needs for everyday Ohioans. House Democrats are ready and willing to work together to get that done.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Michele Grim (D-Toledo) Wednesday joined other members of the Ohio House Democratic Caucus regarding President Donald Trump’s chaotic first 100 days in office.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Michele Grim (D-Toledo) today voted “NO” on the Republican state operating budget, House Bill (HB) 96, because it arbitrarily and recklessly slashes critical state funding areas while failing to benefit everyday Ohioans. Rather than provide real and meaningful support to Ohio’s citizens, House Republicans chose to dismantle the constitutional and bipartisan fair school funding formula, dump more taxpayer money into vouchers for charter non-public and private schools that benefit the wealthiest Ohioans, and authorize a $600M handout to billionaires to build a new Browns stadium outside of Cleveland amidst opposition by local leaders.
