Local state legislators talked about their views about possible legislation involving increasing teachers’ pay, dealing with rising health care costs and whether recreational and medical marijuana should be legalized in a preview Third House session.
About 90 constituents gathered at Donner Center, 739 22nd St., on Tuesday for the special Third House session designed to give area residents a glimpse into legislators’ agendas as they head into the short session this week.
Participating were Rep. Ryan Lauer, R-Columbus; Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour; Sen. Greg Walker, R-Columbus; and Sen. Eric Koch, R-Bedford, who headed to Indianapolis after Third House for the second day of the legislative session which began at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
