Title: If Pittsburgh City Council Can Ban Fracking, Why Not Youngstown?
Post by: irishbobcat on July 22, 2012, 11:38:31 PM
If Pittsburgh City Council can enact a citizens based-rights ban on fracking in 2010, Why can't the current Youngstown
City Council do the same?

Pitt Council voted 9-0 to protect the rights of citizens, their drinking water, and land.

Why not Youngstown?

Maybe somebody should point this link out to Mr. Ray, John R, Annie G, and the rest of the gang.....

Pitt City Council took the lead in their county, Why can't Youngstown do the same for Mahoning County?

The energy companies and the silent majority will not fight Pittsburgh because NG drilling is not in demand anymore, fracking produced so much of it, there is a surplus locally.
Mahoning county has wet gas and that is Hot right now.

Yes certainly, lets thumb our nose at the one industry that is actually investing in our city and perpetuate the misery.  Liberals are all about perpetuating misery.
