Steve LaTourette was a very adept political figure who was highly intelligent and a lawyer's lawyer. He was one of those members that had the capacity to reach across the aisle. He always had a smile and always had a good word. If I can pick one area where we accomplished something, it was trying to get resources allocated to the Great Lakes at the federal level. I would say he was a very rare talent. My deepest sympathies go to his family.
Toledo, OH — Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-9) today announced that the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department has secured $80,530 in a competitive grant award for the acquisition of specialized fire equipment to assist and improve the Department’s response to fires and other emergencies in Toledo’s high-rise buildings and any fire incident that would require a long stretch of fire hose, including commercial ships, vehicle fires in parking garages, wild fires, and train derailments.
