OH Senate Passes Park Drilling Plan

July 6, 2009 - Last week, the Ohio Senate added an amendment to the state budget bill to open up Ohio’s state parks and nature preserves to oil and gas drilling. Currently, drilling is not allowed on these public lands.

The Ohio Environmental Council has created a website where Ohioans can contact their representatives directly to oppose opening up these recreation lands to extraction: http://ga1.org/campaign/ohioparksdrilling.
