Today, Ohio Senate Minority Leader Kenny Yuko (D-Richmond Heights) issued the following statement about the resignation of Health Director Amy Acton:
“Like everyone in Ohio, I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Amy Acton. Her calm and inspiring leadership saved many lives in the past few months and helped our state navigate one of the most challenging times in its history.
“While I’m pleased that Dr. Acton will continue to advise Governor DeWine on health issues, I can’t help but be disappointed by her resignation as Health Director. She endured an incredible amount of unfair criticism, including some anti-Semitic attacks. All those who have insulted, harassed or threatened her and her family should be ashamed. I wish Dr. Acton nothing but the best.”
