Statement of Rep. Pryor on Governor’s State of the State Address
COLUMBUS- State Representative Raymond A. Pryor (D-Chillicothe) released the following statement regarding Gov. Strickland’s State of the State address:
“I believe Ohio is in the beginning stages of an economic upturn, and I am proud to be part of Ohio’s rise to the top. Governor Strickland’s State of the State Address was very encouraging, not only for me as a legislator but for all of Ohio and its bright future. It is encouraging to see the progress that Ohio has made over the past few years, such as ranking first among 50 states in renewable and advanced energy manufacturing projects, and the recent announcement by DuPont in Pickaway County that they will invest $175 million into a facility that will make solar panels in Ohio. I also look forward to upcoming projects such as the Ohio Neighborhood Harvest. This program will greatly impact our district by ensuring that Ohioan’s have access to affordable, healthy and locally grown food. In addition I sincerely look forward to programs such as the Energy Gateway Fund, the Build Your Own Business program, and The Small Business Growth Partnership program. Each of the programs that Gov. Strickland announced today will be significantly effective in transforming Ohio’s economy. I too, believe in Ohio. I believe that if we as legislators can reach across the aisle and work successfully within both chambers we can put Ohio on the ‘road’ to success.”
