Mahoning Valley lawmakers have snagged top spots on
economic development and policy panels in the Ohio House.
State Rep. Bob Hagan, a Democrat from Youngstown, will
serve as ranking minority member of the chamber’s Commerce, Labor and
Technology Committee. Rep. Ronald Gerberry, a Democrat from Austintown, will
serve as ranking member of Policy and Legislative Oversight. And Rep. Tom
Letson, a Democrat from Warren, will serve as ranking member of Ways and Means.
The posts and other committee assignments were announced
by Republican House Speaker Bill Batchelder Tuesday, a few days after the GOP
members held their pre-session retreat to discuss priority issues.
The House will have 17 standing committees and six
subcommittees, with much focus during the next few months on the new biennial
budget.
