Episode Synopsis


Joe DeMare talks about his upcoming meeting with State Rep Haraz Ghanbari and then makes an announcement about a shockingly unenvironmental thing he's planning to do in March. Next, he interviews Lisa Maatz from Ohio Citizen Action about SB117 and HB351 twin bills that would finally end the coal plant subsidies put in place by the infamous HB6. CORRECTION: In the original broadcast, Joe stated that Representative Bill Seitz started drooling when American Electric Power offered to "work with" the committee to pass HB6. This recording has been corrected. It was actually Dick Stein, author of the current HB434--a bill to turn Ohio into a radioactive waste dump, that was doing the drooling. Next Rebecca Wood tells us about the Maroon peoples in honor of black history month. In ecological news, Biden appoints a wolf killer to head the Fish and Wildlife department, Ukraine nuke plants, and more!
