AP -- COLUMBUS, Ohio — As Gov. John Kasich prepares to deliver his State of the State speech in the heart of Ohio's shale drilling region, a liberal policy group is proposing that he and other policymakers bring the state's taxes on oil and gas profits in line with those of Texas.

Columbus-based Innovation Ohio said Thursday that its analysis of industry data is also leading it to seek passage of a Landowner Bill of Rights and a Hire Ohio plan to ensure residents get their fair share of proceeds and jobs from the coming shale boom.

Spokesman Dale Butland emphasized that the report is about economics, not environmental factors such as drilling using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, or a series of earthquakes in the Youngstown area near a deep injection well for disposing of drilling waste

Mineral belong to the landowner or the owner of the mineral rights if separated by prior agreement.

The companies are certainly entitled to a fair profit for extracting it, but regular Ohioans also deserve a fair share and a fair shake — and it's up to our elected officials to make sure we get it." =========================================================== "Fair share", uh huh, translation- we want something for doing absolutely nothing.

Tax them to death. This is why this country revolted against England and now we are doing the same thing. I would not believe if it was conservatives as well.
