U.S. CONGRESSMAN BILL JOHNSON Proudly Representing Eastern and Southeastern Ohio

Marietta, Oct 18 -

Congressman Bill Johnson (R-Marietta) released the following statement today regarding the announcement that the Public Utility Commission of Ohio (PUCO) will allow Ormet to defer up to $20 million worth of electricity costs.

“The announcement by PUCO is great news for Southeastern Ohio. It is crucial for Ormet to remain a key driver in Eastern Ohio’s economy, not only for its dedicated workers but for America’s manufacturing industry. This further underscores the need to turn America’s economy around and promote policies that encourage economic growth and create much-needed jobs right here in America. PUCO’s announcement is the perfect example of what can happen when government agencies and private sector companies partner together to ensure the best interest of the community.”
