For Rep. Bob Latta, the “best thing” he’s ever purchased for his office is a set of eight folding chairs.
It’s also something he cites when talking about why he thinks he’s the best person to lead Republicans on the House authorizing committee with the largest jurisdiction.
The Ohio Republican credits the folding chairs as the launchpad for negotiations to advance his bill to establish a federal standard for tracking and tracing changes in drug ownership throughout the supply chain. That bill’s language was eventually included as part of 2013 drug supply chain safety law.
