Ohio lawmaker targets Appalachians with costly commission plan
Stinziano proposes Sub. H.R. 98 to create a state Appalachian Commission and Director of Appalachian Affairs to study aid programs for Appalachians. The bill would require new offices, committees, and bureaucrats across Ohio, funded by taxpayers, with little proven need. Opponents call it wasteful pork and a needless expansion beyond the Office of Appalachia.
