“Fran and I were saddened to learn that our friend Scott Nein died.  Scott was one-of-a-kind.  He was a tremendous advocate for Butler and Preble counties at the Statehouse where he worked with members of both parties to craft and pass legislation.  Scott never knew a stranger, and enjoyed meeting people and serving his constituents. Fran and I extend our condolences to his wife, Janis, their children, grandchildren, and his many friends.”
