Batchelder Fills Out Constitutional Commission with Himself
Hannah Report 12/21/11
The final legislators were named Wednesday to a panel that will review Ohio's Constitution and suggest changes to the General Assembly as House Speaker William Batchelder (R-Medina) named himself, Reps. Matt Huffman (R-Lima) and Lynn Slaby (R-Copley) to serve on the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission.
The commission was formed as a part of Batchelder's HB188, which was inspired by an entity created in 1969 that worked until 1977. Twelve legislators selected to serve by the Ohio General Assembly's Republican and Democratic caucuses in each chamber will select the other 20 members to fill out the 32-member bipartisan commission.
