Bowling Green Mayor Richard Edwards has reached out to citizens involved in the creation and review of the city charter for their thoughts on the petition for the proposed anti-hydraulic fracturing charter amendment that passed muster with the Wood County Board of Elections this week.
Edwards sent a letter Wednesday to the surviving members of the 1991 and 2001 charter review committees and the two surviving members of the original 1972 charter commission. "It is an issue which I see as one that may very well threaten the integrity and purpose of the city charter as a 'Home Rule' city in keeping with the Constitution of the State of Ohio,' Edwards wrote.
