How individuals can take action to oppose HB 104

Fill out a witness slip https://static1.squarespace.com/static/568c2a10c647ad1e5182756c/t/5fa5d95d92c73f09399b3b44/1604704605547/Senate+Energy+Witness+Slip.pdf?mc_cid=3e45bac853&mc_eid=0386ef85d2 and attach it, with your testimony (attach testimony as a PDF file), to the email to Ohio Senate committee staff person John Wells (don't write testimony directly in the email to him), an aide to Ohio State Senator Steve Wilson, Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee Chair, at john.wells@ohiosenate.gov.

Coalition attorney Terry Lodge suggests this simple template, for any individuals who wish to express their opposition to HB 104, by submitting this statement to the proper Ohio Senate Committee staff person, in PDF form, as explained below:

"I have read and agree with the combined Sierra Club/organizational coalition letter of opposition to HB 104, submitted by Patricia Marida, Terry Lodge, and scores of safe energy, environmental, and public interest organizations."

See the text of the letter, and current signatory groups, posted online here.

Also see a concise backgrounder, "A Radioactive Taxpayer Giveaway," by OH Sierra Club Nuclear-Free Committee. It too can provide ideas you could use to prepare your own comments for submission. The backgrounder also provides contact info. for OH state legislative committees and legislators, to contact them directly in opposition to this dangerously bad bill.

Please submit your comments ASAP, but by Monday, December 7 at 4:30pm at the latest, given the lack of clarity about the bill's legislative review going forward.

Or, Lodge also points out, you can use the coalition letter to prepare your own, more detailed comments for submission. Anyone should feel free to cut and paste from the letter verbatim, or to use the coalition letter in any way that is helpful.
