Kegular Council Meeting Minutes 12-21-09 Page b somewhat more centrally located but still back for most of the people, they did not know about that. Then when they moved it to the center of the condominium development, no one had heard about that. There was a great deal of secrecy. In fact, one of the people called the owner of the development and he didn't lmow about any of these moves where the well was going to be. One of the things Ms. Butler is learning from this is the extent to which hue dishonesty and also extreme secrecy aze being used to essentially squeeze these wells into properties where people don't want them. We all need to think about how we can confront the State and our representatives at the State level to talk to them about how unfair this is to the people of Ohio to be essentially hoodwinked in this way to sign up for something that is completely misrepresented and completely not what they expected Ms. Butler would hope in the next few weeks some of you might try to get a hold of some State-wide officials because it is definitely an uphill fight with the representatives. We have no indication that Armond Budish is essentially on our side at a11 on this or at a11 synthetic. What happened in the Senate was pretty much based on the support of the Senate minority leader Capri Cafaro who rallied all of the Democrats and iwo Republicans to vote consistently against the Niehaus Bill as it was written and to vote for our amendments which were for first, 1,000 foot setbacks, for local control, for the end of manda.tory pooling and finally for 300 foot setbacks and right away the 300 foot setback lost in the Senate. It was only by a vote of 15 for and 17 against. It was a bipartisan support with all the Demoerats and three Republicans voting with us. Ms. Butler feels if we can write a bill that can get Republican support, there would be hope of it being passed, but it's going to take a tremendous amount of effort. Thank you. Council President Buckholtz asked if anyone else would like to address Council at this time. There were no other comments.
