Legislative subject: Ohio House Bill 96, 136th General Assembly

## Verifiable facts

1. In the hosted recording, the caller identifies herself by saying, "Hi, my name is Megan Coy."
2. The caller asks the recipient not to override any of the governor's budget vetoes.
3. The caller says: "So I ask that you either don't vote and don't even go to session today or, you know, vote no on overriding those vetoes."
4. The public full recording censors the caller's personal street address. The displayed transcript replaces it with "[personal address redacted]."
5. Ohio HB 96 was the FY 2026-FY 2027 main operating budget. Official records show a line-item veto receipt on July 1, 2025, a House override action on July 21, 2025, and a Senate override action on October 1, 2025.

## Important attribution boundary

- The audio and transcript support the quoted request above.
- The recording documents a blanket request concerning the governor's budget vetoes; it does not establish that Coy separately studied or opposed every individual provision.
- Characterizations such as "cowardly," statements about courage, and claims about fitness for office are political opinions advanced by this site.
- When accuracy matters, quote the recording directly and cite the official Ohio legislative records for HB 96 context.
