Stan Sorrell emphasizes in touch leadership as he runs for re election. He cites Middletown's solid infrastructure and police water systems while urging local spending to boost development. He supports Bachmann Tract rezoning and trusts the downtown mall will succeed with good management.
Middletown voter and veteran Sorrell promotes decisiveness and listening to both sides. He is a decorated WWII veteran, former commander in American Legion Post 218 and VFW 3809, and senior vice commander of Ohio Disabled American Veterans. He recently sold Sorrell's Market and now manages real estate, living with wife Jean at 4112 Central Ave. He abstained on a Warren County property vote but supported sewer expansion for Towne Mall area, and favors conservative city spending and westward annexation.
In a busy three hour session the Ohio Senate overrode Gov. Rhodes veto on right to strike while Democrats failed to negate his veto on a fire safety bill. The chamber also advanced a fuel adjustment monitoring measure and a high loan ceiling with higher interest rates for small loans. A proposed smoke detector requirement in tall buildings failed to gain override support.
The Ohio River bridge linking Mason, West Virginia, and Pomeroy, Ohio, was reopened by the Ohio highways department after August repairs. It will close again in March for further renovation and connects West Virginia Route 2 with Ohio Route 7.
The House approved a bill to revise the Hatch Act and ease political activity restrictions for federal workers, sending the measure to the Senate. It would curb pressures on employees to donate or campaign and faces opposition from the Ford administration and Republicans who doubt an override is likely.
