Sherrod Brown said the Senate's version of the economic recovery legislation includes $7 .9 billion in funds for -Ohio .and is esti· mated to provide tax relief for nearly 4.2 million Ohioans. Meigs County's local governments are putting some infrastructure on the fast track. in hopes of qualifying for funding through the stimulus package. In Middlepon, at least three projects have been placed mto engineering and design stage~ so they will be shovel -ready by later this year. "This bi II is about immediate job creation and longterm infrastructure investments that promote economjc development," said Brown. '"We need to rebuild our economy, put Americans back to work, and provideftax relief to middle class ami lies." Meigs County will most likely benefit most from provtsions in the bill that mclude infrastructure funds to help repair ·roads. bridges, and sewer systems. " The bill inclu.des $282.9 million in funds fur water and sewer projects. $914.6 million in highway funds. and $203 million in investments in mass transit. in Ohio. In December. Brown led a group of senators in calling for major water and sewer investmeut in the economic stimulus legislation. Ohio communities currently have more than $20 billion in documented need for water and sewer system upgrades, Brown said. . Medicaid programs consume more than one-third of Ohio's budget.ln the Senate e~onomic recovery legislation, Ohio is slated to receive $3.097 billion in Medicaid funds , freeing up funds in the state budget. Last month, Ohio's unemployment fund ran -out and the state's system crashed because of an e~traordinary increase in demand. Brown is a cosponsor of that would provide funds to states that modernize their unemployment systems. Under the economic recovery legislation. Ohio could receive $266.2 million in new funding if it fully enacts the Ul modernization incentives tl}at the · legislation would provide. The economic recovery legislation includes $33 bil· lion in green ener,Sy tax incentives that are designed to grow jobs in the renewable energy sector by encouraging production of alternative energy sources. The bill also includes $16 million in funds for Ohio's State Energy Program and $159 million to help Ohioans weatherize the1r homes, which is alSo geared toward creating jobs in the process.. · The economic recovery act provides critical tax relief for middle class Ohioans. The "Making Work Pay Tax Cre(lit" will provide up to $500 for individuals and $1.000 for married couples. It is estimated that 4.179 million Ohioans will receive tax .· relief through this credit. Additionally, the legislation prevents 884.000 Ohioans from paying the "Alternative Minimum Tax," The AMT was estab· lished in 1969 to target approximately 150 highincome households that were making so many deductions that they otherwise would have no tax liability. Because it has not been indexed for inflation. it now affects millions of middle class households. Ohio is one of the largest beneficiaries of education and training funds in the economic recovery legislation. Under the Senate bill, Ohio would receive over $1.17 billion in funds that invest in local school districts and public colleges and universities~lessenmg the burden on local property taxes . The bill also provides funds for communities hard-hit by job loss. Ohio would receive $54.4 million in funds to retrain dislocated workers and help communities with high unemployment rates build '"regional clusters" of industry and workforce. Brown said the economic recovery legislation also includes critical funds to help unemployed and uninsured Ohioans. Brown led the fight to increase funding for food banks by sue: cessfully increasing funds for the Emergency Food Assistance Program. Ohio will receive more than $565 million in funds that suppon food banks, school lunches, and other vital nutrition programs. POMEROY - Transfer of the Salem Center School property to the Meigs County Commissioners for use by the County Highway Department has been approved by the Meigs Local Board of Education. The Board unanimously agreed at its recent meeting to the transfer of the threeacre plot which has not been used for school purposes since the construction of the new elementary school. Superintendent . William Buckley reponed that the Meigs County Highway Department wants.to use the propeny as an outpost for storage of cinders and salt which will make il easier to take care of the roads in that area. Salem Center is miles from the highway garage at Rock Springs where everything is stored now. The Board felt it would be advantageous to the school system to have a storage outpost in that section of the county since school buses travel those roads to pick up students. Jo Dunn, Meigs High School junior class advisor, met with the board to discuss plans for the 2009 junior-senior prom. She said plans are to hold the proll\ on The Ruble Stemwheeler on' May 2. The boat will travel downriver, returning to the levy about II a.m. after which there will be an after-prom party in the gym at the high school until 2:30 a.m . She said there is some discussion about having an after-after prom event at the high school. If held it will be a lock-in until breakfast is served, Dunn said. The Board had no objections to the prom plan. Approval was ~iven to the payment of · an mvoice for $3,093.75 to Varsity Spirit Fashions for MHS cheerleading uniforms from the Meigs l:ligh School Cheerleaders Fund. Ac'knowledgment was made of a mini-grant from AEP Teacher Vision in the amount of $500 to be used for the specific purpose of the MHS student field trip to Costa Rica. It was requested . by Lauren Hardgrove, science teacher. Personnel matters handled included the acceptance of the resignation for retirement purposes of David Longsworth as an electronics teacher at MHS effective June I; the hiring of Ron Hill on a supplemental contract as h1~h school ass1s· · tance varstty track coach, Rebekah Yost as a substitute cook; and John Sipple as a substitute teacher. Attending the meeting were Superintendent Buckley, Mark E. Rhonemus, treasurer/CFO, and Board members, Roger Abbott. Ron Logan, Barbara Musser. Larry Thcker, and Scott• Walton.

The idea behind forming a sort of cooperative is that if more people join. the better the price those people as a group may receive as o~posed to negotiating a rate as an mdividual. Volunteer Energy Services also has a reinvestment program for municipalities where .the company pays so many ~ents per cubic feet of natural gas purchased by the municipality and its members that goes back to the municipality (in this case Pomeroy) to be reinvested in the community.

Letters to the two women sent by AMPOhio attorney Charles R. Saxbe were posted on OCA's website as were the replies . Sax be's letter references statements allegedly made by Young and Buchanan. · Although Buchanan received a similar notice, in relation to Young, Saxbe states: "Although AMP-Ohio believes that you are aware ofthe false nature of statements refer~ enced above, this letter will serve as notice to you that those statements are false and that: AMP-Ohio has never stated that it will exceed the sulfur dioxide limits contained in its air permit to instali...AMP-Ohio has never nor does it plan to distribute coal wastes on roads, driveways , or schools ...AMP-Ohio continues pursuit of all necessary permits, authorizations and other approvals for construction of the American Municipal Power . Generating Station and already has sufficient participation in AMPGS to proceed with its development and construction." In her response, Young (as did Buchanan) defended her First Amendment right to · "voice my heartfelt objections to the impacts inherent to coal extraction and consumption that we are being forced to absorb on a daily ' basis." As for the "false statements" Saxbe alleged, Young said she has not intentionally made any false statements and "will be glad to clear up any misunderstandings that I may have had." Young also responded to the individual statements Saxbe referenced. Saxbe's letter took issue with seven statements made by Buchanan and OCA that AMP-Ohio feels are "false in nature." Saxbe's letter included several rebuttals including: "AMP-Ohio has never stated it plans to use coal obtained through mountaintop removal...participants in AMPGS. possess certain rights of advice and control over AMPGS. including participation in 'the Participants' Committee ... AMPGS will employ state-of-the-art technology that will meet all current, applicable environmental standards ...communities enacting ordi· nances to withdraw from AMPGS could not reverse such withdrawal through the mere passage of another ordinance. etc." Saxbe also felt that the OCA's website continues to carry references to the "Scott Balice Strategies Report that contains. in AMP-Ohio's view. a number of conclusions which are simP,IY wrong."
