BOWLING GREEN, OH – Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) addressed the Findlay Rotary today to provide a legislative update and discuss recent efforts to support veterans and the military. Latta highlighted the recent passage of the VA MISSION Act and the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act as recent bills passed by Congress that have been promises kept to Americans.

In addition, Latta talked about the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which has helped lead to low unemployment and more savings for taxpayers. One effect of the booming economy is the need for skilled workers, and Latta pointed to recent legislation, the Strengthening Career and Technical Education Act, which will help streamline and improve vocational programs to help prepare students for the in-demand jobs in their areas.

Congressman Latta also discussed his efforts to combat the opioid crisis, expand access to broadband in rural communities, and improve innovation and lower costs for over-the-counter drugs.

“I appreciate the opportunity to address the Findlay Rotary Club and discuss the important things that we’ve gotten done this Congress,” said Latta. “Whether it’s providing the largest pay raise in nearly a decade for our troops, helping our veterans get the health care they deserve, or passing historic tax relief for families and small businesses – we’re keeping our promises to the American people. At the same time, I was also able to talk about the efforts I’m spearheading to help communities in Ohio. For example, legislation I’ve authored to combat the opioid crisis and expand access to broadband have both passed the House, and I’m working to get them to the President’s desk.”
