COLUMBUS— Rep. Jim Buchy (R-Greenville) announced an effort to gain public input on the possible reforms in Governor John R. Kasich’s state budget proposal. Opinions are being collected in an online survey at: http://tinyurl.com/buchybudgetsurvey

Recently, Gov. Kasich released his plans for reform as part of the proposed state budget for the 2014-2015 fiscal years. Rep. Buchy remains in the process of reviewing Gov. Kasich’s reform package which includes changes to Ohio’s school funding model and state sales tax among other reforms.

Rep. Buchy plans to monitor the Governor’s proposals and gather opinion from the residents in the 84th House District.

“Government derives its power from the people and I have always held the belief that public input is important in the legislative process,” said Buchy.

As part of a commitment to gaining that public input Rep. Buchy has sent an email to constituents seeking their feedback. In addition, he has used social media to reach a broader group of individuals posting on Facebook and Twitter, asking constituents to complete an online survey regarding budget proposals.
