    Legislative Report 11/4/2019 BALLOT ISSUES While the federal government does provide protections against foreign entities gaining control of critical infrastructure in Ohio and across the U.S., the Buckeye State should adopt a constitutional amendment to better protect its power plants, electric transmission lines, oil and gas pipelines and water treatment plants, Reps. Don Manning (R-New Middletown) and Jamie Callender (R-Concord) said Wednesday. Speaking to the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee during the panel's first hearing on HJR2, Manning said they have been "troubled by the growing trend of foreign entities acquiring or financing some of our country's most critical infrastructure," so they'd like to place the "Ohio Critical Infrastructure Protection Amendment" (OCIPA) on the November 2020 ballot. FirstEnergy Solutions (FES) says the state must quash the referendum campaign against HB6 (Callender-Wilkin) energy subsidies once and for all or risk losing its two nuclear power plants and their half billion dollars in annual gross domestic product (GDP). The company lodged a second request this week for expedited briefings in State ex rel. FES v. Ohioans Against Corporate Bailouts after its first attempt failed in early September. The Ohio Supreme Court answered Thursday by ordering the campaign and Secretary of State Frank LaRose to respond to FirstEnergy's "new exigencies" no later than Tuesday, Nov. 5. BUSINESS/CORPORATE Cleveland will be the home of the new Americas headquarters for the London Stock Exchange's ELITE initiative and the site of its "Global ELITE Day 2020" conference next year, according to a Monday announcement.

  • I Am Laura Rosenberger, an Elected Member of the Ohio Republican Party State Central Committee, District 10, Clark, Greene and Madison Counties
    I am Laura Rosenberger, an elected member of the Ohio Republican Party State Central Committee, District 10, Clark, Greene and Madison Counties. My colleague, JoAnn Campbell from Medina County’s District 22, and I stand here outside what was supposed to be a picnic to bribe State Central Committee members into endorsing Mike DeWine at their September meeting. Even if that picnic had not been cancelled, JoAnn and I would still be standing outside here with you right now, along with two other members from the Committee who could not be here today, Mark Bainbridge District 16 and Denise Verdi District 25. You can be assured that the four of us stand with you, for you, and by you, against ORP primary endorsements and fiscal mismanagement and corruption. ORP Treasurer Dave Johnson, in a recent Ohio Star news article, called me and other Committee members who are concerned about the ORP’s fiscal mismanagement, Malcontents. I agree with Treasurer Johnson – I am a Malcontent. I am not satisfied or content with the status quo at the ORP and the longstanding corrupt relationship that exists between the ORP and corrupt Republican elected officials and candidates. So yes, Malcontent is the perfect word. Thank you, Treasurer Johnson. JoAnn and I do not have to go into detail about what has gone wrong at the ORP because so much has been revealed in the past few weeks that you already know. Everyone knows we have a chairman who has put into writing that he prefers to make important financial decisions on his own without the input or knowledge of the committee.
