WV Lawmakers unlikely to revisit Marcellus shale in 2012.....? Forced Pooling

Del. Tim Manchin, the House leader of the interim joint committee on Marcellus shale, said there was not likely any political will to address the problem, despite the governor's office making substantial changes, including deletions, from the interim committee's bill.
"I think we're not in much of a position to adopt something until we get something back from (the EPA) and DEP," Manchin said. "I really think now is the time for us to start looking a little harder at the Forced Pooling issue."

Corky DeMarco, executive director of the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association, was also skeptical of any political will to enact additional Marcellus shale legislation.
DeMarco said his organization is working on Forced Pooling legislation, but whether it is introduced will depend on "some looking for friends type thing."

 Suggestion  do you have anyone that can write up some form letters for member to copy print sign and mail?  Email them as well? Most grassroots lobbying groups utilize this practice.  The ant smoking cartel loves to use surveys where as a rule they survey 600 and it comes up with 70 to 80% of the public favors this or that.
