Appears to be a Judge willing to seal Court Decision involving Fracking for Natural Gas In Washington County.

He had been a County Court of Common Pleas Judge for 15 years before he resigned in July 2012. Previously he had been a "District Judge" which in Pennsylvania is the latest name for what used to be called "Justice of the Peace" and had been a JP for 14 years before getting elected to be a County Court of Common Pleas Judge.

The two big issue in Washington County is Marcellus Gas drilling AND Long Wall Coal Mining. Marcellus Gas has to due with drinking water and how the material used in Fracking affects water from springs. Long wall mining not only affects springs, but often leads to problems with structures (such as houses) above the mined out area. In regard to this judge I can NOT see anything with Long Wall Mining, but I did see some decisions in regards to Marcellus Gas operations.
