On Tuesday, Congressman LaTourette and I will host a natural gas round table with Ohio regulators, shale oil and gas development companies and end-users. The discussion will focus on addressing the following three key points:

• What are the potential economic benefits of shale development to the State of Ohio?
• How would the economic benefits be affected from a federal/state regulatory scheme?
• Which regulatory body (federal/state) is best suited to protect health and safety of Ohioans?

The round table will allow us to hear first-hand how shale development can spur job creation and what environmental and regulatory challenges arise with shale development and hydraulic fracturing. The information derived from the event will be useful when discussing the federal government’s role in shale development.
