Audio Exclusive: Lawmakers Cut the Fat

Columbus – State Representative Terry Boose (R-Norwalk) today spoke in support of the hearing that House Bill 25, a plan to restructure state government, will receive next week in the House State Government Committee. House Republicans introduced the proposal to explore innovative cost-saving measures that make state government run more efficiently and responsibly.

“We need to get jobs back in Ohio and House Bill 25 will help do that,” Boose said. “House Bill 25 will help restructure our state government and put more tax dollars, or more money, back in your pockets. Hopefully this will create more jobs for you.”

The measure aims to restructure Ohio’s state government through consolidation and reorganization. This plan would eliminate duplicative services that cause wasteful spending while making essential services operate more effectively. By reducing the size of government and eliminating wasteful spending, House Bill 25 would save Ohio’s taxpayers approximately $1 billion annually.
