Representative Veronica R. Sims - District 33

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Veronica R. Sims (D-Akron) today criticized the Republican state operating budget, signed by Governor Mike DeWine, that prioritizes tax breaks for the wealthy and corporate giveaways over funding for schools, affordable communities, and essential healthcare services.
