Full text

My name is Anne Yager and I am a resident of Perrysburg, Ohio. I am a retired landscape architect, a
mother, grandmother, and concerned citizen. It has just come to my attention that HB 188 would
appropriate millions of dollars of our Ohio taxes to an Ohio-Israel partnership and I am horrified.

Ohio is struggling to feed our hungry, fund our schools and libraries and yet this partnership has been
proposed under cover of darkness. How can we turn our backs on our own citizens and send millions to
an overseas government? Where is the accountability? Who will oversee this boondoggle? There is no
established transparency or bench marking proposed in this legislation. This is an unnecessary
redirection of Ohio money.

Please see your way to keep Ohio money here to build up our communities and citizens and defeat this
misguided idea.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
