Have yet to talk to a single person who feels Ohio should be among the lowest in taxing the frackers. The only people who oppose him are those that have to pay the taxes. As well as those that were bought to oppose him. If he needs to drum up more support, it is in his allowing Ohio to be fracked in in the first place. It seems as if fracking was a lot more supported 1-2 years ago than it is now.

But the debate has touched the city of Youngstown, Ohio literally, given that at least 11 recent earthquakes in the region have been traced back to injection wells — only one way fracking companies dispose of their waste. And yet, with one factory expanding specifically to accommodate demand for pipes used in fracking, the potential economic benefit for this struggling industrial city can’t be ignored.
