Lawmakers and people who work at the Ohio Statehouse know Bryan Williams as a former lawmaker who also works as a lobbyist for the Associated Builders and Contractors of Ohio. He’s also been serving as a member on the state’s board of education.
But questions have been raised about whether his work as a lobbyist violated Ohio’s ethics laws.
An Ohio Ethics Commission advisory says elected members of a state board may not be registered lobbyists.
So Williams has submitted his resignation to state school board president Debe Terhar. The resignation is effective immediately. A new board member is expected to be chosen to replace Williams soon.
