DeWine signs bill letting gas companies charge Ohioans millions for new pipelines - cleveland.com

DeWine’s signature on House Bill 201 marks an about-face from earlier this year, when he used his line-item veto authority to strip out a similar proposal from the state’s massive two-year budget plan.
