State Representative Melanie Miller has announced the House Committee's approval of Amended Senate Bill 155. The bill aims to repeal a provision in the transportation budget that mandates the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to construct certain interstate interchanges.

Rep. Miller stated, "This is a significant step forward for the Brunswick community and a victory for the many residents who have worked tirelessly to make their voices heard in the district and in Columbus about the detrimental impact of this interchange." She expressed gratitude towards her committee colleagues for their unanimous support, highlighting their shared commitment to addressing community concerns.

The bill now awaits a vote on the House floor. Rep. Miller remains hopeful about its passage before the current General Assembly concludes.
