How new laws get proposed and passed is fascinating, isn’t it? Especially when the forces of good (conservatives) use the same tactics as the forces of evil (leftists) against them. The Ohio Senate may vote as soon as today on House Bill (HB) 507, which would expand natural gas drilling in state parks. HB 507 began life as a bill to “revise the number of poultry chicks that may be sold in lots.” The bill ostensibly addresses poultry sales and food safety. Yet somewhere along the way (in the dark of night), the bill was amended with another bill that “forces” state agencies to lease public lands for oil and gas drilling.
