Representative Al Cutrona - District 58

COLUMBUS, OH — State Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) is pleased to announce that more than $6 million will be directed towards three waterfront projects in Mahoning County as part of the Wonderful Waterfronts Initiative.

COLUMBUS, OH — State Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) praised the completion of the statewide  JobsOhio network with a new four-county region that includes Columbiana and Mahoning counties, named the Lake to River Region.

State Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) co-sponsored House Bill 230, legislation to directly combat drug and human trafficking in Ohio which passed the Ohio House last week.

House Bill 230 comes as a result of the staggering increase in drug overdoses, specifically fentanyl poisoning, in Ohio and throughout the United States. Since the bill’s initial introduction on June 27, 2023, roughly 3,624 Ohioans and 57,380 Americans have died of fentanyl poisoning, according to statistics provided by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.   

“This bill will ensure those who are harming members of our communities with drugs be held accountable for their actions,” said Cutrona. “I am proud to support law enforcement to help protect all Ohioans so Ohio remains a place for people to live, work, and enjoy life.” 

State Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) this week introduced legislation that would require school district boards of education in Ohio to adopt a policy that authorizes students to be excused from school to attend a religious release time program.

“More and more parents in Ohio would like their children to participate in religious release time programs,” said Cutrona. “By being proactive in considering how release time programs work before groups of parents ask for an option, school districts will be in the best position to tailor a program that works within the academic framework of the district.”

This legislation would require school districts across the state to prepare for the eventuality that parents would like a release time option by creating a policy to guide this activity in the future.
