Rep. Bob Latta, from Ohio’s 5th Congressional District, introduced the SECURE Grid Act, which would require states to find the shortcomings and risks to their power needs. The act would require states to submit a State Energy Security Plan every year to get federal funding to improve security and resilience. Latta says the United States needs more power and protecting and improving the current grid to defend against not only weather-related outages but also cyberattacks.
Ohio's 5th District Congressman is trying to get all of the mail in his district to stay in the state, instead of going to Michigan to be process.
Congressman Bob Latta sent a letter to the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service asking that mail from Northwest Ohio be sent to either Columbus or Cleveland to be processed, and not to its current location of Pontiac, Michigan. Latta says that the Michigan facility has failed to reliably deliver mail, including bills and vote by mail ballots to Ohio residents. Since the Toledo mail processing plant closed in 2012, most of the mail in Northwest Ohio has gone up North. Latta adds that with the continued presents of COVID-19 that more people will be looking to vote by mail in the November general elections and that is why he urges for the change and making sure the system is working in a timely fashion.
