The non-profit public policy research organization, Policy Matters - Ohio, has released a report on the impacts of state budget cuts to the Ohio Geological Survey. The report concludes "state policy makers have slashed funding for a public good that protects
the health and safety of the population and facilitates economic
development. As a result, the public has lost important protections and
the private sector will experience increased costs."
"Deep cuts to the Ohio Geological Survey will likely create millions of
dollars in unnecessary costs for businesses operating in the state and
for government, and increase risk for Ohio communities."
