“Dr. Acton was right to call on the Statehouse to act. Ohioans need relief, and they need it now. But if we are going to commit more than $725 million from our General Revenue Fund, we have a responsibility to make those dollars go as far as possible for Ohio families. What passed simply does not go far enough.” (Official legislative website (ohiohouse.gov))
