Ohio treasurer, Josh Mandel, who is expected to run against Sherrod Brown in the 2012 senate race, has announced that he feels Brown should support fracking, according to a report on Vindy.
The claim states that Brown should do what the people of Ohio want and accuses Brown of siding with Washington bureaucrats and fringe environmentalists.
According to Brown's camp, while not stating a for or against stance, “Sen. Brown supports responsible domestic energy production. His priority is making certain that fracking negotiations result in good jobs for Ohioans, a fair deal for landowners, a safe local drinking-water supply, and sustainable, long-term economic growth for Ohio communities.”
Having read Brown's books and followed his career with interest, I find it highly unlikely that this man is out of touch with what his constituents want. If anything, he is, in my humble opinion, one of the few leaders actually working to make life better for the dwindling middle class and rapidly growing lower economic class.
So, let's hope Senator Brown does not take the advice of someone who is getting poised to run against him and who is, most likely, offering him bad advice.
