and |
| WHEREAS, If the Congress of the United States fails to act,
more than 382,000 Ohio students will pay more to obtain a college
education; now therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 129th General Assembly,
urge the Congress of the United States to pass S. 2343, the Stop
the Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act of 2012; and be it further |
