New York is protecting their residents and THEIR water. Fort Worth "leaders", on the other hand, stick their heads in the sand. If you stick your head in the sand, what does that leave exposed for all the world to see? You guessed it.
We were sent this email from one of our concerned citizen contributors. Kudos to NY!
The New York State Assembly voted 93-43 to pass a temporary moratorium on gas drilling using high volume hydraulic fracturing until May 15, 2011. This bill (A11443B/S08129B) was previously approved by the Senate last summer. It is expected to be signed into law by Governor Paterson. Last week the Governor said in a radio interview in reference to fracking that "even with the tremendous revenues it would bring in, we're not going to risk public safety or water quality".
Actually, what Fort Worth's "city fathers" have done to the citizenry is more like forcably sticking the citizens' heads in water...dirty polluted water at that. The ones not waterboarded get to breath the filthy air from gas drilling all over the city. Children lucky enough to grow up to be relatively healthy adults will work like slaves to pay for the debts, waste, and theft of taxpayer money. What a "positive city"!!!Cough, cough.
