Dear La Prensa:
Immigrants in Ohio and all over the country are being targeted in scams, and I want to warn folks in our communities to not become one of the victims!
Scammers may call or email pretending to be a government official. They will say there is a problem with a visa application or additional information is required to continue the immigration process. They will then ask for personal and sensitive details, and demand payment to fix any problems. Do not fall for these deceptive tactics.
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-9) announced that the Middle Bass Island Airport has secured $223,405 in a competitive grant award for designated runway improvements, to include new sealing and remarking of 1,855 feet of Runway 10/28 to “maintain the structural integrity of the pavement and to minimize foreign object debris.” The competitive grant was awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA.
In many ways, it’s great to be a woman living in 2016. Today, more women are educated, celebrated and making change. In Rio, U.S. women outpaced men, taking home more Olympic medals than their male counterparts— 61 to be exact. A woman is even running for president.
Today, 104 women hold seats in U.S. Congress.
When Rep. Marcy Kaptur first came to Congress in 1983, the Ohio Democrat was one of only 24 women in the House and Senate. In 2013, a record 98 women — 20 in the Senate and 78 in the House — dramatically raised that number in the 113th Congress.
