Kasich And Company Bought By The Fracking Industry

[irishbobcat]

Just a few weeks ago, Ohio Governor John Kasich signed into law SB 315 which paves the way for the continued expansion of fracking. (2) Described as a "red carpet for the industry", the bill allows the companies to withhold information on chemicals used in the fracking process until after they release these poisons. These are terrifying measures that clearly fail to protect communities from the very real threats of water contamination from fracking.

(2) And how much did SB 315 cost the oil and gas industry? Representatives voting in favor of SB315 have taken a total of over $1 million from the industry to date, while those voting against the measure have taken a total of about $35,000. Just in the last two sessions of the Ohio General Assembly, those voting for SB315 have taken about $850,000 while those voting against the bill took just under $25,000. Coincidence? We don't think so.
