Ohio Military Needs Help

US Air Force LTC (ret.) Steve Lynch sent a letter to Blackfive - The Paratrooper of Love calling for some help in getting the word out to Ohioans in the military regarding proposed legislation called the Ohio Patriot Plan. Here's a portion of the letter:

. . . "The legislation is geared to help active duty, reserve and national guard personnel assigned outside of the state, and to also help their families. Among other things, it allows children of parents who have been deployed to remain in their home school district, and enables college students who have been recalled in the middle of a semester to receive military leave from school - rather than forfeit tuition or be otherwise penalized for serving their country. It also allows deployed personnel to cancel cell phone contracts without penalty."

The bill may not pass committee vote so help is necessary. Representative Peter Ujvagi (district47@ohr.state.oh.us), co-sponsor of the bill, should be contacted to offer support. More details are here.
