Senate Bill 193, which would allow companies to drill for natural gas in state parks and in Lake Erie, made its first steps onto the Senate floor Wednesday.

George DeTillio, vice president of the United Steelworkers Local 1104, which represents steelworkers at REP's mill in Lorain and U.S. Steel's Lorain Tubular mill, said yesterday that he wasn't in favor of any drilling in state parks or in Lake Erie.
''I'm a sport fisherman,'' DeTillio said. ''The state's going to say that the drilling won't affect the environment or affect the fishing, but I don't see how it couldn't.''
