Ashford Tapped to Serve on House Speaker´s Energy Task Force
State Rep. Michael Ashford (D-Toledo) last week announced
that he will serve on Energy Task Force, a new commission
created by the Ohio House to examine energy issues and
provide recommendations to House standing committees. After
years of serving as Ranking Member on the House Public
Utilities committee, Ashford brings significant experience
addressing public utility and energy issues.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to serve on the
legislature´s new Energy Task Force," said Ashford. "I look
forward to sharing my knowledge on public utility issues, as
well as working with my colleagues to develop stronger
energy policies that will push our state forward."
The Energy Task Force is one of many new groups announced by
Rosenberger earlier this year which will address specific
policy areas and advise related House committees. Joining
Ashford on Energy Task Force are Reps. Jack Cera
(D-Bellaire), Brian Hill (R-Zanesville), Larry Householder
(R-Glenford), Chairman Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati), and a
number of representatives from energy companies and
associations across the state. The commission will hold its
first meeting on October 4 in the Riffe Center.
