Michael A. Fox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other persons named Michael Fox, see Michael Fox (disambiguation).

Michael A. Fox is a Republican politician from Fairfield Township, Butler County, Ohio.

Fox served as a representative in the Ohio State Legislature representing Hamilton and Fairfield, Ohio and surrounding areas for more than two decades. He then served on the Butler County commission from 1997 until 2007.

Fox was honored by having the newly-constructed Ohio State Route 129, a limited access highway connecting Hamilton and Liberty Township with Interstate 75, named for him.[1] But in 2004, Fox's name was removed and the road was renamed Butler County Veterans Highway, after a rival politician from nearby Middletown sponsored a bill in the state legislature to change the name.
