The Electric Credit Bill
Ohio bill would tweak oil tax and add electric bill credit
Revise oil and natural gas severance tax; electric bill credit
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would change the tax on oil and gas, decide how the tax money is split, and give Ohio residents a credit on their electric bills.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, the bill could raise or lower taxes on energy companies and use that money to give a credit on electric bills, affecting how much families pay for electricity and possibly influencing fuel prices.
