Ohio Congressional Update 4/29

Day 526, 20:30 • Published in USA USA • by Tarik Ibn Ziad


Dear Ohioans,

Just writing to keep you informed of the various happenings in the Congress. I have spent the last couple of days getting situated in congress and debating various topics. As you can see by the voting record, there are have been lots of proposals of late, some have been for fun.

Cromstar was recently elected SoH. I have spent some time chatting with him, and find him to be a level headed individual. He seems to be able to put aside politics and get the work done. Furthermore, he is interested in discussing topics and building consensus, which we need. We were recently assigned sub-committes, and we shall start work on them soon.

The pace of Congress is fairly quick, but I have kept up on my reading and have made well informed decisions before I voted. If you are interested in providing input on various topics, I suggest checking the forums out and then contact me. You will see both my opinions, and how congress is proceeding. If there is anything you have a questions about, or would like me to consider, just give me a holler.
