Gas Drilling in our City
Well, as you all know, we have been actively working with the City Council and Mayor to reopen the gas drilling task force and last month we finally got a commitment to do so!
While this is great news, we also asked the the city for 2 other things -
1.Conduct and independent study of the environmental impacts of urban drilling on our neighborhoods including water, earth, noise, light, etc.
2. Declare a moratorium on new drilling permits while the study and task force work.
As you can imagine, the second point did not go over too well. But we will still keep trying. We believe it is time to call a timeout or halftime if you will and dig deep into the impact that gas drilling has had on our city and plan for the future.
WE NEED EVERYONE to contact their City Council Representative and offer your support of the above agenda. The more people the Council hears from, the more attention they will give this matter.
The FWLNA believes that there are unanswered questions regarding urban gas drilling and we want the city to make sure we get the answers before it is too late.
By the way, you might mention that we are ready to get the Task Force going again! |
