A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Declaring March 2013 as Reshoring Month in Ohio. 1

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING):

       WHEREAS, The members of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio 2
are pleased to designate the month of March 2013 as Reshoring 3
Month in Ohio; and 4

       WHEREAS, The massive trade deficit of the United States is a 5
major cause of the decline of manufacturing over the past several 6
decades, the high unemployment rate, and the debilitating budget 7
deficit; and 8

       WHEREAS, Offshoring work and well-paying jobs overseas 9
ultimately contribute to waste and instability; and 10

       WHEREAS, Many companies are shifting their operations back to 11
the United States because offshoring has hindered their ability to 12
rapidly deliver goods, maintain low inventories, uphold 13
competitive costs, and meet demand for rapid adjustments to unique 14
products; and 15

       WHEREAS, Reshoring is an efficient way to reduce imports, 16
increase exports, regain desirable manufacturing jobs in the 17
United States, and quickly and efficiently strengthen the economy; 18
and 19

       WHEREAS, Reshoring helps companies and manufacturers recover 20
from offshoring's poor quality, trade secret thefts, supply chain 21
disruptions, and lengthy delivery times, all while staying 22
cost-competitive; and 23

       WHEREAS, Reshoring helps federal, state, and local 24
governments by balancing budgets, motivating recruits to enter the 25
skilled manufacturing workforce, and strengthening the industrial 26
base for defense purposes; now therefore be it 27

       RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 130th General Assembly 28
of Ohio, in adopting this resolution, declare March 2013 as 29
Reshoring Month in Ohio; and be it further 30
