ENERGY REFORM SUMMIT

REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS INCLUDING U.S. SENATORS BERNIE MORENO AND JON HUSTED GATHERED IN COLUMBUS YESTERDAY (THURSDAY) TO TAKE PART IN AN ENERGY REFORM SUMMIT. 
THE LAWMAKERS SAY MAKING ENERGY CHEAPER TO PRODUCE COULD HELP LOWER ELECTRIC BILLS AND EVENTUALLY THE COST OF OTHER GOODS. THEY SAY THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A BIPARTISAN PLAN TO REFORM FEDERAL PERMITTING LAWS, MAKING IT EASIER TO BUILD POWER PLANTS, NATURAL GAS PIPELINES, AND TRANSMISSION LINES. THEY EXPECT A FEDERAL BILL ON THE ISSUE TO BE PASSED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
