2011 - AG BILL ADDRESSES INFLATABLE RIDES TO HORSE RACING
|
The State of Ohio Agriculture
By State Representative Jim Buchy
Agriculture is one of the top issues for our local communities, and for
that reason it has been a priority for my office. Currently, I am
working on HB 229, an agricultural omnibus bill. The bill has

will streamline regulatory operations at the Department of Agriculture
and help Director Zehringer operate the Department more
efficiently. The bill addresses regulatory issues at the
department from inflatable rides to permitted farms and from grape
production to horse racing. As the state legislature works on
this bill... Read More. More Opinion.

POST OFFICE, CHECKS & MORE GOING AWAY
|
From Dan Harless
Bye - - Bye - - - Things are going to be changing - -

Office. Get ready to imagine a world without the post
office. They are so deeply in financial trouble that there is
probably no way to sustain it long term. Email, Fed Ex, and UPS
have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep the post
office alive. Most... Read More. More Senior Scribes. |
