A late Saturday night Findlay gas well produced a powerful flame through a six inch pipe into a two foot stack, estimated at twenty five feet high. The Findlay area already hosts fourteen wells with one failure, boosting city growth as strangers flood in seeking locations. Republicans back a proposed state tax on liquor at two hundred dollars per saloon, while lawmakers discuss the Scott law’s options and revenue impact for the Democratic administration.
