Group Again Floats Columbus Green Energy Ballot Issue

theverge.com

The group that tried last year to get a gree energy initiative  onto the Columbus ballot is trying again. 

ProEnergy Ohio has submitted the petition it plans to circulate to place on the ballot a measure earmarking 87 million taxpayer dollars to green energy initiatives. That's up from 57 million in the last proposal. City Council rejected it because of a flaw in its petition. The group is backed by Columbus resident and electrical engineer John Clarke. The proposal has no support from environmental groups.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
