re: Gov. John Kasich to propose new tax on fracking to give Ohioans a personal income tax cut
This is hilarious! I wonder how many people are going to realize that 'income tax cut' will come back to haunt them in the form of higher energy costs?
Kaisich sure has made the case he's not a conservative...
They say a lot of oil will come up with the gas, or vice versa, from the Utica, which is under Ohio.
Chesapeake is going hot and heavy after the wet gas or oil.
At $100 a barrel, almost anything is worth drilling for. The gas comes up as a byproduct, in one sense. I see "low" natural gas prices for an extended period.
Remember, what is "low" or "high" depends on context.
Juandos,
Kasich has done alot of good since he was elected including balancing the budget without raising taxes. His recent efforts at reforming the state unions was rejected by the voters, but I still give him an A for effort.

Not many Republicans are. They have favoured big government at the national level for decades while playing up to idiot voters as being fiscally conservative. Fortunately, that game is about to end and the party could be looking at disappearing as its predecessors did. Hopefully, the Democratic Party will do the same.
"They have favoured big government at the national level for decades while playing up to idiot voters as being fiscally conservative."
Kasich is better than his Democrat predecessor by any yardstick you care to measure by. Your "they're all the same" generalities fall apart with the slightest bit of actual examination of the record.
