Click the link above for the article! That is pretty sweet! I guess permits were not even being issued but now they won’t until at least May 2015. They are also adding more public health reviews and ways for community members to express their concerns and opinions. Think that is very reasonable. People just want to make sure it is safe before they allow NY to become a major fracking site. Why is that just so infuriating to many politicians? It can’t just be about the money, right? The vote was 103-40 so you gotta believe a few Republicans voted aye? And some Dems voted nay? But what an overwhelming majority to ban! That surprises me actually! GO NY!
