CLEVELAND â Some Northeast Ohio residents and state lawmakers from Cleveland are concerned proposed state legislation giving towing companies the right to take the title on a vehicle impounded by police in 60 days could hurt low-income families.
Ohio House Bill 345, sponsor State Rep. Don Jones, District 95 (R-Freeport), said the measure is designed to help with the growing problem of abandoned vehicles statewide. Jones said vehicles are stacking up across the state, creating a problem for towing companies that are doing the best they can to manage their properties.
