Wilkin comments on Senate veto override vote

Ohio State Senator Shane Wilkin today released the following statement in response to the Ohio Senate’s vote to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of House Bill 68:

“I was proud to cast my vote to override Governor DeWine’s dangerous veto of House Bill 68, but I’m incredibly frustrated that this veto-override process forced upon the Legislature has needlessly delayed this important bill from becoming law for another 90 days. 

"While I empathize with those struggling with mental health challenges, I will always do what’s necessary to protect the children of our state. Today’s vote ensures we will do just that.”

As a current state senator, Wilkin proudly supported passage of House Bill 68, which was vetoed by Governor DeWine on Dec. 29.
