Public Comment at OGLM Commission Meeting

On January 12th members of Third Act Ohio joined Save Ohio Parks and other organizations and concerned citizens giving public comments to the Ohio Oil & Gas Land Management (OGLM) Commission. 

They were seeking input on a change that would extend the duration of fracking leases from 3 years to 5 years.  We commented on that and our general concerns with fracking – the first opportunity in 3 years for citizens of Ohio to speak at an OGLM meeting.  The meeting was followed by the disappointing approval of another 6,600 acres of “protected” public land opened for fracking.
