Tonik Posted November 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Just now, what said: Who's going to show up as the opposition? American Hearing Aid Manufacturers Organization? No one, but I get why they have rules or procedures. Not needed here, I did toss on a polite suggestion that they speed it up during my comments. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Ok, they they are back in action. The Senate committee votes on us this coming Wednesday. No need to do anything, we will pass there. Next step is to get to the floor, I will let you know when the vast active OR membership needs to mobilize. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Woot! We passed out of committee today with 100 percent yes votes. Next we go to the rules committee. That is when we will get back to work and bug them to put it on the floor for a full Senate vote. Well done gang, we are almost there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) While I still think this was a dumb fight to pick, it's awesome to see the system work for the little people 😂. Congrats to everyone who put in the effort on this. Special shout out for having to deal with Tonic so much through the process.

Tonik Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 So I was just asking when/if it was going to be signed. He has not signed it, he has until March 4th or so to sign it. He also has not indicated if he is going to sign or veto. I can not for the life of me imagine he is going to veto but it wouldn't hurt to drop him a note saying sign it please. https://governor.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/governor/contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialEd Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) There was a feature story about this bill yesterday afternoon on NPR, which included expert testimony from an ENT doctor about the dangers of wind noise. They also cited several studies which refuted the assertion that ear plugs blocked critical sounds such as sirens. I was expecting this to be followed by an interview with Tonik . . . The story can still be accessed on the NPR web site. Edited February 19, 2020 by SpecialEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the BBC, NPR is publicly funded so it can't be biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
