    The Ohio Senate unveiled its proposed version of the state budget bill on Tuesday. Previous plans from Gov. Mike DeWine and House Republicans were worth following.

    There’s a grimy saltwater seeping into their oil wells, and the Bobs are furious about it. The Bobs – two landowners from Washington County named Bob Lane, 79, and Bob Wilson, 65 – own about 240 old-fashioned vertical oil wells over a few thousand acres across Southeast Ohio. Between them,they said in interviews, at least 55 of their wells have “flooded” since about 2019. Instead of oil, they are now producing only a salty, sludgy, translucent brine with a foul smell.
