Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help families in Ohio by making it easier for new parents to take time off with their babies without losing pay. When businesses get a tax break for offering paid leave, it means more parents can afford to spend important early weeks with their children. This is a good thing for families and for kids. You can tell your lawmakers that you support this bill because it helps working parents.
