Township association thanks commissioners for opposing Senate Bill 56, urges continued push against governor's budget proposal
Summary
A representative of the township association thanked Mahoning County officials for opposing Senate Bill 56 and for resisting portions of the governor's executive budget recommendations that the speaker said could restrict local township funding.
A representative speaking on behalf of the 14-township association thanked the Mahoning County Commissioners for their support in opposing Senate Bill 56 and said the group remains prepared to continue resisting portions of the governor's executive budget recommendations that could limit local control of township funds.
The speaker said an amendment to Senate Bill 56 appeared to preserve funding for townships but that the details of any amendment were not yet clear. The township representative urged elected officials to continue to press for local control of funds and said township leaders in neighboring jurisdictions had joined Mahoning County in opposition.
Commissioners accepted the thanks and the speaker said they would report back at a township association meeting that night. No formal county action or vote on the state bills occurred during the meeting; the comments were made during public comment.
