Final Report of the Ohio Regulatory Reform Task Force

The following was sent from Mary Clare Rietz of Ohioans for Health, Environment and Justice (OHEJ):

OHEJ Allies,

Attached is the final set of recommendations made by the Regulatory Reform Task Force. They met Wednesday (Dec. 17), voted, and it "passed."

What exactly this means is not certain. The Task Force has stated its intentions to develop legislation based on its recommendations. Some we've talked to say they don't think it will go anywhere, given the shift of power in the House and other factors.

Task Force Chair Senator Keith Faber stated Wednesday that many letters of
support were received from businesses. He said that citizen and environmental group also submitted comments (and gave testimony at hearings), but that these are not relevant to the focus of the Task Force, which is JOBS.

SO!! First order of business for OHEJ Strategy Committee in January: How to take next steps in moving OUR regulatory reform recommendations!!!!!!

Here's hoping you all have holidays with healthy doses of the presence of loved ones, health, safety, and fun. It's been a priviliege and a pleasure working with each of you in 2008, and I look forward to more in 2009.
