AIR FRACKED: North Brookfield Got a BL*W Job!!

In 2007, North Brookfield water wells were literally blown out of the ground by natural gas drillers working on Ouleout Rd.  While doing some research I ran into the link below to an audio interview with local resident George Jaquay.... the interview is worth every minute and gives some insight into the local politics and pressures ....and deceit.

GAS: New York's highest court has upheld the bans on natural gas drilling

Albany -- New York's highest court has upheld the bans on natural gas drilling passed by two small Upstate towns. It is a major decision for the future of hydrofracking in New York state, where the drilling process has been on hold for more than five years. The decision allows towns to forbid fracking and other forms of gas drilling within their borders. The state Department of Environmental Conservation is still deciding whether to allow hydrofracking in New York. See the full article and decision at:     http://www.syracuse.com/
