The League of Women Voters of Ohio (LWV-Ohio) held its biennial state convention May 1-3 in Dublin, Ohio. The gathering gave nearly 70 League members from the 33 Leagues around the state the opportunity to celebrate the organization’s accomplishments and to discuss important public policy issues impacting communities across Ohio. Convention delegates adopted a program of policy issues for the biennium and approved resolutions calling for action on issues ranging from raising Ohio’s personal income tax to redistricting and election-administration reform to environmental, education and energy conservation issues.

Spring Arrives With Town Hall Meetings Around Ohio
Spring was the onset of a slew of LWV Ohio Education Fund’s Impact Town Hall Meetings in Ohio. Town Hall Meetings were held in Delaware, Columbus, Bowling Green, Marion, Perrysburg, and Portsmouth on topics concerning Redistricting, Judicial Reform and Election Law. These issues also brought into the discussions tax issues and the importance of accurate counting in the coming census for determining how federal funds will be distributed.
