A state lawmaker serving in Iraq is home for a short leave. Senator Steve Stivers, a Republican of Columbus and the commander of the Columbus-based 237th Personnel Services Batallion, is back in the capitol for a few weeks, then will return to duty before coming home from his deployment in December. Stivers talked about what he's experienced in Iraq with Ohio Public Radio's Karen Kasler. Stivers, who's a lieutenant colonel in the Army National Guard, is the second lawmaker to serve in Iraq recently. Democratic State Representative John Boccieri of the Youngstown area was a C-130 pilot with the Air Force Reserve's 910th Airlift Wing. |
