HB1950 & SB1100 is PA Gov Tom Corbett's Gift to Gassers. He's called TOXIC TOM for a reason.

- Strips local towns & cities of zoning power and will allow gassers to drill anywhere they want
- "Severance" fees are inadequate to cover cost for clean-up, long term clean-up costs are the responsibility of localities
- Well Cap of abandoned wells: bonds are inadequate, costing less than capping which encourages gassers to just walk away
- DEP oversight diminished even more than current authority (which is precious little)
This is bad for Pennsylvania, bad for towns, bad for people - but GREAT FOR GASSERS
Protect Pennsylvania from Marcellus Shale gas drilling

With all of the environmental damage caused by Marcellus Shale gas drilling, it’s incredible that our state legislators are poised to force more drilling on the state’s residents with less environmental safeguards. Our politicians in Harrisburg should be standing up for Pennsylvanians, not the gas drilling industry and their well-heeled lobbyists in the Capitol.
Email your state senator today and tell them to oppose proposals that weaken our environmental protections—and give away the farm to gas drillers.

Good info on the site, if you live near Dallas PA - we are having a meeting at the American Legion, Memorial HWY on Wednesday night, 12/14 - 7:00pm
There will be a representative from DEP at the meeting to answer questions
should be interesting to say the least
