Boehner Welcomes Dayton-Springfield Community Leaders
Dayton Development Coalition Celebrating its 30th Annual Washington Fly-In

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) yesterday welcomed more than 100 corporate executives, local government officials, educators, and economic development professionals from the Dayton-Springfield area to Capitol Hill. Local community leaders traveled to the nation's capital for the Dayton Development Coalition's 30th Annual Dayton Community Leader Washington Fly-In.

The fly-in is part of the coalition’s broader mission to help educate the local community as well as promote an ongoing exchange of ideas with Washington officials about current federal issues involving the Dayton region.

Boehner highlighted some of the House’s accomplishments over the last six months, including the passage of a budget agreement as well as movement towards restoring the traditional appropriations process. The following is an excerpt of his remarks:

“We’re on track to actually move our appropriations bills in regular order in both the House and the Senate this year.

“I will make sure that we do these individual appropriations bills because it’s the place where members can best represent their constituents, and it’s our best opportunity to represent all of you and the interests of the Dayton region.”
