Consumers’ Counsel resigns
Ohio Consumers’ Counsel Janine Migden-Ostrander has announced she is resigning her position effective Oct. 15.

“My decision to leave the OCC has been extremely difficult,” Migden-Ostrander said. “There is no other organization or agency that can replicate what the OCC has accomplished in its 35-year history. I was fortunate to serve at the OCC in its nascent years. It was an honor to return to the agency as the Consumers’ Counsel in April 2004. However, I am looking forward to continuing my career and serving the public interest in my new position.”

She has accepted a position as principal consultant with the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) a nonprofit organization.

The OCC’s two-year operating budget was reduced from $8.5 million to $5.6 million by the state legislature.
