A Statement from OBL CEO on Government Shutdown

10/06/25

"The Ohio Bankers League urges Congress to swiftly pass a clean continuing resolution to keep the federal government open and functioning. A stable, fully operational government is vital to maintaining economic confidence in communities across Ohio - from small towns to our largest cities. Federal programs, contracts, and payments play a key role in supporting Ohio's businesses, workers, and families. Our economy works best when the government remains open, ensuring stability and certainty for the customers and communities our banks serve every day."- Michael Adelman, President and CEO.
