Last week, the OMA and the Ohio Oil & Gas Association (OOGA) sent a letter to Senate President Rob McColley voicing concerns over a proposal in the state budget that would subsidize certain biofuels over others.

Under the proposal, fueling stations across Ohio could receive up to $100,000 in state-funded rebates for selling a15 percent ethanol blend (E15), significantly tipping the playing field in favor of E15 over other fuels.

The state budget is still being deliberated by the legislature, with lawmakers having a June 30 deadline to get the budget to DeWine for his signature. 4/30/2025
