Speaking out against House Bill 67

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. 

The blessing of the bikes is at Sugar Grove United Methodist Church on Sunday, May 21.

The service will be at 10:30 a.m. at the church located at 4945 State Route 81 Ada. 

According to the pastor, "Please join us for a time of worship, as we pray for a safe summer of riding and fun. Ride your motorcycle to church. All are welcome to attend."

Ada council's special meeting originally set for Tuesday, May 9, has been cancelled.  The announcement was made by Angela Polachek from the village office.

 

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.
