Sponsors: Rep. Johnson, Bill [R-OH-6]
Target Audience
Population: Individuals using or affected by the Cadiz, Ohio Post Office naming
Estimated Size: 5000
- The bill affects a single postal facility located in Cadiz, Ohio.
- The main direct impact is symbolic, involving the naming of a post office.
- The residents of Cadiz, Ohio, may feel a sense of local pride or historical interest due to the designation.
- Those aware of John Armor Bingham might be directly impacted in terms of historical recognition.
- Operational aspects of the USPS at this location are unlikely to change, thus not impacting service users apart from the name.
Reasoning
- Most people in the US and even within Ohio will remain unaffected by the renaming of a single post office facility outside of perhaps acknowledging the change if they visit or read about it.
- For residents of Cadiz, Ohio, the renaming might provide a sense of local pride or historical connection that could have a small impact on their daily lives.
- John Armor Bingham is a historical figure, though not widely known, so the impact of naming could be more significant for individuals with an interest in local or U.S. political history.
- The budget limitation suggests that no large events or significant promotional activities are linked to this policy change, reinforcing its primarily symbolic nature.
- Each person's baseline Cantril wellbeing scores are determined by their current life circumstances, and any change due to the policy is small.
