Statehouse To Be Open During Fewer Hours Each Week

The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board has voted to cut weekly hours at the Statehouse by 10 hours per week. The new hours will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday instead of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Weekend hours - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. - will remain the same. Officials say the change is aimed at reducing costs, particularly related to security. The board also voted to change a 2009 rule and allow only the Ohio House Speaker and Ohio Senate President to approve applications to appear at the Statehouse and waive fees, instead of the four top-ranking legislative leaders.
