COLUMBUS, OH – Nine community boating safety education programs received a total of nearly $208,000 this year through the Boating Safety Education Grant, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
“Boating safety education grants provide critical boating skills and training to local residents,” said Director Mary Mertz. “Community safety training programs ensure a fun and safe day on the water for all boaters.”
Individual grant awards provided by ODNR’s Division of Parks and Watercraft range from $6,834 to $30,000.

representative hagan. i think it is important to remember that these are opportunities for the governor and his staff and his administration to get in the way of the regulations, to play games with those of us who care a lot about the environment and to say that we re really doing everything we can. the ohio department of natural resources is not protecting our natural resources. in other states, it might be the mining or something else in pennsylvania, but we are not doing that. what we have found in bill after bill, the bills i have offered to put moratoriums on fracking, 60% from west virginia and pennsylvania injected into ohio wells, some with radiation, we re constantly ignored.
