August ended with a couple of important roundtables for OHFA. I joined FHFA Director Bill Pulte @BillPulteIV & @berniemoreno first, and last week @SecretaryTurner, @SenJonHusted, @berniemoreno, @RepMikeCarey & others to talk about removing barriers to housing development.
Our team was on-hand Saturday at the @phebefndn Wealth Wellness Weekend to get the word out about @STABLEAccount and #RealMoneyRealWorld.
These great programs promote financial independence & empowerment and are helping more Ohioans to take control of their financial future.
We’re always working hard to invest in our state’s future and improve the lives of its residents. Here’s just a snapshot of the great work being done in the Ohio Treasurer’s office.

Snoopy has gone where no beagle has gone before.
Following the successful conclusion of the #Artemis I Moon mission, @NASAGroundSys teams have begun unloading the payloads aboard, including the zero-gravity indicator #AstronautSnoopy. go.nasa.gov/3w26zr7

"Right now there are enough young men, and men generally, who feel that they're being neglected or ignored or dismissed. That creates some really fertile soil for some pretty bad stuff to get seeded." Me to @NPR's @andrea_c_hsunpr.org/2022/11/04/113358670…
Over the last 10 years, smart, conservative budgeting and investment strategies have built a strong financial foundation for Ohio. The result of that is the Buckeye State’s new “AAA” credit rating - a big win for taxpayers.

Since taking office in 2019, it has been our mission to be trusted stewards of public dollars and wise investors in Ohio’s future.
Adopting ESG-driven investment strategies would run counter to those efforts and undermine the overall financial health of our state.
In Ohio, our investment strategy is centered on the safety of principal, the preservation of liquidity, and maximizing gains for Ohioans.
This is a winning formula for Ohio’s taxpayers, and we will not abandon it.
THE NUMBERS ARE IN!
The iSee project launched under the #ResultsOHIO model has exceeded target metrics during its first year.
95% of referred students received eye exams and 100% of students who were prescribed glasses received new glasses.

We’re in the Miami Valley today w/ Montgomery Co. Treasurer John McManus & local leaders to discuss the ways inflation & rising costs are impacting our communities.
Insight from the Dayton community is of great help, as we seek out additional ways to support Ohio’s job creators.
"I wanted to take something completely natural and structure it as a transit system, because technically these rivers once were and still are a form of transportation."

“Mr. Stanley, who has been called ‘Senator Beagle’ by other legislators, said people interested in adopting one of the beagles can call his office to get on the list for when they arrive at shelters and rescue centers.”
His office phone is (540) 721-6028.
About 4,000 beagles were rescued from a breeding and research facility in Virginia that broke regulations and left the animals underfed, ill and injured.
Now the authorities have about two months to find the dogs new homes.
