  • December 19, 2008 Legislature Wraps up 127Th General
    DECEMBER 19, 2008 LEGISLATURE WRAPS UP 127 TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY Members of the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio Senate wrapped up their business this week, just in time for the holiday season. Much of their work will proceed to Governor Strickland for his consideration. Below are highlights of various bills impacting county government that moved (or did not pass) during the past few days: • 9-1-1 Wireless Fee . The continuation of the fee on cell phones for wireless emergency 9-1-1 operations was continued at the lower rate of 28 cents through December 2012. This provision was included in Senate Bill 129, which originally addressed the removal of auto crashes blocking roadways. ( See separate story in this edition of the Statehouse Report for more details.) • Dog Legislation . Representative Webster’s House Bill 446, which was the long focus of the Ohio County Dog Warden Association, unexpectedly died in the Ohio Senate. Senators received pressure from hunters and the National Rifle Association to remove mandatory rabies-prevention provisions in the bill. While a floor amendment was prepared to eliminate that language, support for the remainder of the bill waned as some legislators viewed it largely as a fee increase bill. • Cuyahoga County Government Structural Reforms . The House and Senate had dueling bills with different approaches in how to reform Cuyahoga County Government. Neither proposal, though, was supported by the other chamber. As a result, both approaches died. House Bill 650, sponsored by Representative Dolan, called for the implementation of the Cuyahoga County Government Commission’s recommendations. This includes “super- sizing” one of the three commissioners with additional “executive” powers and converting certain elected county offices into appointed positions.

    MELISSA BACON Policy & Advocacy Director [email protected] mobile: 614-578-6630 4041 N. High St., Ste. 204 Columbus, Ohio 43214 Ohio Senate Health Committee House Bill 110 Melissa Bacon Groundwork Ohio May 5, 2021 Chairman Huffman, Ranking Member Antonio and members of the committee, my name is Melissa Bacon and I am the Policy and Advocacy Director at Groundwork Ohio. Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony on House Bill 110, the Ohio FY 2022-2023 biennial budget bill, as it relates to the Ohio Department of Medicaid. Groundwork Ohio is a statewide, nonpartisan advocacy organization that champions high-quality early learning and healthy development strategies from the prenatal period to age five, that lay a strong foundation for Ohio kids, families and communities. Our vision is to make Ohio the best place to be a young child so that all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Groundwork is led by Executive Director, Shannon Jones, and governed by a robust steering committee of child-focused health and education experts from across the state. At Groundwork, we know that healthy moms are the foundation of healthy babies. Whether infants are born healthy and with the potential to thrive as they grow greatly depends on their mother’s well-being. To have a healthy pregnancy and positive birth outcomes, women and their infants require access to appropriate health care services before, during, and after birth. More than half of all babies in Ohio are born to women who receive Medicaid and 49% of infants and toddlers in Ohio receive health coverage through Medicaid and Healthy Start.

  • Lobbyists— Affluence & Influence?
    Catherine Turcer Judith Richards Leontien Kennedy 1 Lobbyists— Affluence & Influence? Lobbyists advocate for a variety of clients— from corporations to trade organizations to non- profit organizations. At the end of 2010, there were 1,175 individuals registered as legislative agents or lobbyists with the Ohio Joint Legislative Inspector General. Nearly 85% (995 of the 1,175 registered legislative lobbyists) reported lobbying on the operating budget—House Bill 1. Eight of the ten bills with the largest number of lobbyists passed one or both Houses during the 128th General Assembly. However, lobbyists are required to identify bills that they seek to influence, but they are not required to identify whether they are in favor of the bill. This means that it is impossible to tell whether lobbyists are attempting to move, stall, or amend legislation. This study explores the role of lobbyists and their influence on the legislative process by examining campaign contributions. It examines contributions to statewide and legislative candidates from January 1, 2009 – December 3, 2010 from registered lobbyists, political action committees associated with registered employers of lobbyists, and contributions from lobbying firms and law firms that specialize in government relations. It also examines activities reported to the Joint Legislative Ethics Committee gifts: meals and conferences. While lobbyists’ “wining and dining” and contributions at fundraisers greases access to members of the House and Senate, some prominent lobbyists have a built-in advantage— they are former legislators. Sixteen former legislators are "contract" lobbyists; they advocate for clients on a contractual basis. The other seventeen former legislators are "in-house" lobbyists and advocate for only one client.
