CATHOLIC CONFERENCE OF OHIO

June 21, 2019

Dear Elected Officials,

On behalf of the Catholic Bishops of Ohio we commend you for your conscientious efforts regarding HB 166, the budget bill. We find many features within each of the versions of this bill to be helpful and well intentioned. Thank you for your careful consideration of this important legislation. Attached is a PDF listing of provisions that we hope will be part of the final compromise.

We call your attention to three specific areas:

• Our strong support for programs that assist the poor and vulnerable:
• Our strong support for programs that protect and defend all human life from conception to natural death;
• Our strong support for programs that help Catholic school students.

Thank you for your service to our state. We pray that you will be guided by God’s wisdom in your pursuit of the common good.

Carolyn Jurkowitz, Executive Director, Catholic Conference of Ohio
Jim Tobin, Associate Director
Larry Keough, Associate Director
