Group questions Baard property funding

LISBON – “A consumer advocacy group is questioning the use of tax dollars to secure property for the Baard Energy project since some of it went to a man later convicted of operating a meth lab on his land.”

“Ohio Citizen Action’s Catherine Turcer sent a letter this week to Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray asking him to ‘investigate several circumstance surrounding the proposed Baard Energy Ohio River Clean Fuels plant in Wellsville, Ohio.’”

“The questions posed by Ohio Citizen Action focus in particular on money spent by the Columbiana County Port Authority to secure options to purchase 522 acres in Yellow Creek Township for the $6 billion Baard Energy plant, which will convert coal into liquid fuel.”

- Tom Giambroni, The Review.
