He shares an example of a woman unfamiliar with cash transactions due to reliance on SNAP benefits. #Affordability #Poverty In a recent discussion, #JonHusted pointed out that "people living in poverty are just not very experienced at navigating the real world." He shared a story about a woman who has used SNAP cards all her life, illustrating the need to "teach people how to budget." The conversation centered around the buzzword of "affordability," reflecting ongoing concerns about economic challenges faced by low-income individuals. — Sen. Jon Husted: People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries. You literally have to teach people how to budget...the buzzword today, let's face it, is 'affordability.' Follow @meidastouch for more.

Gee #JonHusted hasn't got a chance to testify yet!
"Outside of the presence of the jury March 9, defense attorneys representing two former #FirstEnergy executives in a bribery case argued that their clients should be acquitted of all charges.
Jones and Dowling are accused of bribing Sam Randazzo, former chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, with a $4,333,333 million payment before Randazzo took the position"
So many stories. ..
Sen. Husted can’t testify in person in corruption trial due to 'Iran War,' but did come to #Ohio for fundraiser #JonHusted
U.S. Sen. Husted can't leave D.C., to testify in the largest public corruption trial in Ohio history due to the "Iran war," the defense attorneys said, but did find time to return for a fundraiser.
He's never come to #Akron to a townhall but he's coming to defend white collar criminals at #FirstEnergy
"The defense in the bribery case against two former FirstEnergy said it tentatively plans to call U.S. Sen. #JonHusted , R-#Ohio, to testify at the trial on March 13."
Today's Gilded Age criminals.
"On Dec. 18, 2018, before they visited Randazzo's condo, Dowling and Jones met with #MikeDeWine and then Lt. Gov-elect #JonHusted who is now a U.S. senator."

Hey #JonHusted will you have a townhall in #Akron if you're in town for the trial???
"Former FirstEnergy CEO Chuck Jones & former senior vice president Michael Dowling are accused of paying Randazzo a $4.3 million bribe before his appointment to lead PUCO.
The messages, often between Jones and Dowling, were exchanged in 2018 and 2019. They showed an open line of communication with Gov. Mike DeWine, former Speaker Larry Householder & former Lt. Gov. Jon Husted.
This is giving real "I knew it was unethical but I didn't realize it was illegal" energy
