YOUNGSTOWN — “As a firefighter, I know that every other industry must comply with this law, and I cannot understand why Ohio has given oil and gas a free pass. Due to the hazards of the job, firefighters already have a 100 percent higher risk of developing cancer than nonfirefighters. As vice president and legislative director of the Youngstown Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 312, I worry about exposing my friends and colleagues to even more potentially dangerous material. At the very least, we have the right to know what we may be facing, should there be an accident. I urge the state of Ohio to make this common-sense change and force oil and gas companies to disclose the chemicals they use, as required by federal law.” — Christopher M. Weaver, letter to the editor, Cleveland Plain Dealer
