MEDINA — Candidates for Medina County’s 69th House District seat fielded questions Thursday night about a well-drilling process for gas and oil; Senate Bill 5, which would have limited collective bargaining; and the state budget.
Ohio House Speaker Bill Batchelder, the Republican incumbent, and his Democratic challenger, Judy Cross, both of Medina, took turns answering written questions from the audience at Medina Library. Many of the questions were about hydraulic fracturing.
“We are in a position where we may profit considerably as a state from drilling,” Batchelder said.
He added that bills passed under Gov. John Kasich and former Gov. Ted Strickland have strengthened the state’s position to be ready for companies to begin hydraulic fracturing operations.
