Liberty National CEO testifies during Ohio House committee meeting

Speaking out against House Bill 67
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, May 8, 2017

Ron Zimmerly, Liberty National Bank president and CEO, recently testified in the Ohio House Financial Institutions, Housing, and Urban Development Committee in opposition to House Bill 67. 

This bill would only permit the use of cognovit notes for monetary default on commercial lending contracts, thus removing a safety net that allows lenders to mitigate some of the risk taken on these high-dollar loans.

Zimmerly’s testimony emphasized that the use of a cognovit note, or confession of judgment, is used only as a last resort option and must be valid, justifiable, and within legal reason for a judge to approve the request to call the loan.

50th annual Festival of Wheels June 16 in Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, May 8, 2017

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Once upon a time gasoline was leaded, 30 cents a gallon, or cheaper.

Really.

Those days are gone, but many of the vehicles hooked on that gas survived. Over 200 of them return to Bluffton on Friday, June 16, for the 50th Bluffton Festival of Wheels cruise-in, sponsored by the Bluffton Lions.

Several Ada vehicles are always registered for this show.

A registration form is attached at the bottom of this story.

If luck prevails, you might catch glimpses of some gone-but-not forgotten heavy metal cruisers that once roamed Main Street Bluffton.
