This one is really kind of funny. The Ohio Oil & Gas Association (OOGA) made nicey nice with Ohio’s Republicans in Name Only (RINOs), and supported a small, modest, ever-so-tiny severance tax increase (that we lambasted here: OOGA Caves, Endorses New Higher Tax on OH Utica Shale).
Even before the ink was dry and before the proposed law is brought up for a vote, those same slimy RINO politicians have done a double-cross and raised the tax rate in the bill. And OOGA is actually surprised! We hate to say we told you so (but we did)…
