<p>I also oppose <b>SB508</b> – The Nuisance Suit Elimination Bill – This bill is currently in the House Judiciary Committee for approval after being approved by the Senate.

<p>The Farm Bureau, The West Virginia Royalty Owner Association and the Land and Mineral Association should be able to speak tomorrow before the vote. The Farm Bureau was offered several incentives to go along with the bill, but they refused to support it. </p>
<p>At the urging of Senate President Bill Cole who was present at the meeting, four Senators changed their minds and decided to vote for the industry bill and FORCED POOLING. They are Republicans Charles Trump and Kent Leonhardt and Democrats Corey Palumbo and Mike Woelfel. Please call or email these Senators and urge them to VOTE AGAINST SB646 - THE FORCED POOLING BILL!</p>
