(Cleveland Jewish News) Kristen Mott - In an 81-13 vote, the Ohio House of Representatives on Nov. 29 approved a bill to prohibit state agencies from contracting with a company that is boycotting or disinvesting from Israel. Rep. Kirk Schuring (R-Canton), the primary sponsor, said, "Our state's relationship with Israel generates more than $200 million of economic benefit for Ohio each year. This legislation provides more opportunities for Ohio to continue its strong alliance with Israel, as well as bolster our economy here at home."
