The first vote today followed a 14-minute appeal Kasich made from the House dais at the start of the session. House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger, a Republican from Clarksville, said he invited the governor.
COLUMBUS — “Voting largely along party lines, the Ohio House of Representatives today approved a bill that would further delay green energy mandates by allowing power companies to decide whether they want to obey them for the next three years.
…Gov. John Kasich has repeatedly said he would veto any legislation that extends the current two-year freeze on the green mandates the lawmakers enacted in 2014.
House leadership has been planning an end-of-the-year special session to override a veto, if it occurs. But those plans are up in the air now because too many Republican members joined with Democrats to oppose the legislation.”
