Ohio Coal Research Bill Stalled in Committee
A House committee in Columbus delays action on a bill creating separate research projects at Ohio State University and Ohio University to study clean, economical burning of high sulfur coal. The panel waits on pending federal legislation and leadership decisions, wary of a possible federal severance tax. Ohio State and Ohio University favored a single research center under the measure, fueling a funding split proposal.
