COLUMBUS - Assistant Minority Leader and State Rep. Phil Robinson (D-Solon) today condemned Ohio Republicans in the state legislature for failing to act on any measures that could have preserved Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for 1.4M Ohioans. Instead, in two days, more than half million children, more than 250,000 seniors, and an estimated 45,000 veterans are at risk of going hungry when the federal government defaults on its November deposit to fully fund SNAP benefit cards due to President Trump and Congressional Republicans' refusal to end the federal government shutdown. On Tuesday Rep. Robinson joined with the Ohio House Democratic Caucus to send a letter to Governor Mike DeWine urging him to take immediate action.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Phil Robinson (D-Solon) today voted “NO” on the vote to override a school district property tax levy restriction provision vetoed in House Bill 96 (the state operating budget). Line-item 66 would eliminate several types of levies, limiting the choices voters have in how to support their schools and local governments, and would not provide real property tax relief to Ohioans. Real property tax relief is one of the most pressing needs for everyday Ohioans. House Democrats are ready and willing to work together to get that done.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Phil Robinson (D-Solon) today criticized the Republican state operating budget, signed by Governor Mike DeWine, that prioritizes tax breaks for the wealthy and corporate giveaways over funding for schools, affordable communities, and essential healthcare services. 

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Phil Robinson (D-Solon) today voted “NO” on House Bill (HB) 96, the Republican-crafted state operating budget, citing cruel and chaotic cuts and its abject failure to invest in children, public education, healthcare, and basic services – all while shoveling billions to the wealthy and well-connected. 

COLUMBUS – The Ohio House of Representatives today elected State Rep. Dani Isaacsohn (D-Cincinnati) as the next minority leader for the House Democratic Caucus following the resignation of House Minority Leader Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) from caucus leadership.
