Notes:  According to the Ohio Legislative Services Commission, the industry-backed tax proposal on oil and gas drilling will not produce substantial revenues for the state. As a result of new tax credits and other changes, this bill will cut resources for Ohio’s general revenue fund.  Ohio needs oil and gas corporations to pay their fair share for the right to drill in Ohio, and we need to reinvest these resources into great public services that lead to stronger communities.
