==== Bill Scott, COS Ohio State Director ====

As a former CFO at several insurance-related companies and a former Big 5 audit partner, I retired from a paycheck, but not from life! I signed the COS petition in 2016 while living in Minnesota, but did not get active in leadership until early 2018 upon moving to Ohio. Mark Levin and his book, “The Liberty Amendments” served as the catalyst for my joining COS. After serving as an Ohio Legislative Liaison and Regional Captain for several years, I was asked to become Ohio’s State Director in 2021.\\
\\
With a background in finance, I feel strongest about the need for amendments addressing the “fiscal restraints” plank in our 3 pillars. The concentration of power in Washington, DC allows a select group of politicians to deficit spend constantly and rewards friends/donors with taxpayer dollars while avoiding financial accountability by not having balanced budgets for over 2 decades. The culture of that broken system results in our kicking the can down the road with Continuing Resolutions and multi-thousand-page Omnibus bills that hide waste and pork. This must stop! While Mark Levin may have been my inspiration to join COS, fighting for the future well-being and freedoms of my children and grandkids is what sustains me.
