A lawsuit filed against Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted seeks to restore three proposed county charters on the November ballot. The charters from Athens Medina and Fulton counties would ban injection wells for fracking waste and bar using county water for drilling with Medina and Fulton also limiting oil and gas activity. The suit argues Husted's Aug. 13 ruling blocks the ballot measures despite local petitions and court orders. Names include Athens County Bill of Rights Committee leaders Dick McGinn John Howell Sally Wiley and Austin Babrow with protest by resident Joanne Prisley as county officials weigh the outcome.
