Dispatch:
Gov. John Kasich's education adviser has withdrawn his bid to become the next state schools superintendent.
Robert D. Sommers said he has been advised by counsel that Ohio's ethics laws essentially prevent him from doing the job.....
....The other two finalists for the job are Stephen D. Dackin, superintendent of Reynoldsburg schools, and Robert E. Schiller, a Florida education consultant and a former state superintendent in Illinois and Michigan.....
What? No female candidates?
**** Ohio has become a dumping ground because it is now getting shipments 6 days per week of toxic wastewater from the Pennsylvania drilling sites.
Dispatch:
Millions of barrels of salty, toxic wastewater from natural-gas wells in Pennsylvania are coming into Ohio despite efforts to keep it at bay.....
....From January through March, nearly half the brine that went into disposal wells in Ohio came from Pennsylvania and other states, said Tom Tomastik, chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' disposal-well program.
That's 1.18 million barrels of brine....
That's 1.18 million barrels of brine....
...Trent Dougherty, staff attorney with the Ohio Environmental Council, said the state should examine what's in the brine before it is pumped underground.....
Ohio doesn't test or check the brine before it is dumped in our state? OMG! Is this what Kasich meant when he said Ohio was open for business? Why are we getting all this toxic brine? What does Gov. Kasich plan to do with the brine produced when fracking starts in Ohio?
