Representative Veronica R. Sims - District 33

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Veronica R. Sims (D-Akron) 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. Veronica R. Sims (D-Akron) 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. Despite a few helpful line-item vetoes, the budget still overwhelmingly reflects out-of-touch priorities that leave everyday Ohioans behind.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Veronica Sims (D- Akron) 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 – State Reps. Veronica Sims (D-Akron) and Daniel P. Troy (D-Willowick) this week celebrated the first Ohio Aging Caucus meeting. The Caucus aims to foster discussion to make sure all Ohio seniors have the opportunity to live full, vibrant lives.
