[Cinci-NFB] FW: [Ohio-Talk] Call to Action: Submit Testimony in support of House Bill 225

[Christopher Sabine]

Please consider attending this important hearing in Columbus on behalf of legislation that would phase out subminimum wage in Ohio. If you can give testimony and have experience in the Industries Program at CABVI, work in the facility and are affected by this, we ask that you give testimony if you can find a way to get to Columbus.

Very Best,

Chris
