Rep. Bird Condemns Claims Against STRS
 In case you missed it, last week, Rep. Bird announced that a review by the Ohio Retirement Study Council (ORSC) and its independent consultants identified significant flaws and unsupported conclusions in a recent article questioning the investment practices of the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio (STRS).
“Allegations of fraud and fiduciary mismanagement are incredibly serious and must be supported by credible evidence,” said Rep. Bird. “As an STRS member myself, I am outraged that such sweeping accusations would be made without adequate proof, only for the authors to refuse to answer legitimate questions about their findings. Our review makes clear that these claims are not supported by the data.”
House Bill 284 - Requiring State-Funded Projects to Use American-Made Iron and Steel
 Rep. Bird is a co-sponsor of House Bill 284 - legislation that requires state-funded projects to use American-made iron and steel.
House Bill 284 ensures that Ohio’s infrastructure is built with high-quality, American-produced materials – supporting the domestic supply chain and promoting manufacturing jobs.
This legislation also requires the use of U.S.-made iron in state-funded projects. Current law mandates the use of U.S.-produced steel products in the construction, repair, or improvement of buildings and structures where the project is supported in whole or in part by state funds. This bill expands that requirement to America-made iron.
House Bill 284 awaits consideration in the Ohio Senate.
