Bad Press via- Walter Hang group!
I have been to many meetings concerning companies trying to do business in NYS. This man, (hang) has popped up with his data, telling tax payers and communities that this industry is a "bad" idea and will contaminate water, even cause cancer in some cases. He shows his "hotspots" of contamination, then the fear is on! He has costed villages and taxpayers money to check on his "data". Most is bogus! Why is this happening? I realize there IS freedom of speech here in this nation, but- to spread lies, mis-information is a crime.It has costed UNNECESSARY money for the village to check on his LIES. I live in a small village in NYS, and the things that happen here to prevent natural gas production is down right criminal! Not the village officials mind you, it's the community. In my opinion it's about MISINFORMATION! Gas companies NEED to educate, articulate what they're communicating. There are many retired people in these parts. They hear the lies, and conclude to saying no. Most havent a clue! I would also like to comment on rumors in the industry. The latest one being that a female DEC officer is married to the head of an enviromentalist group? If this one IS true, why isnt some attorney on this? The data given to DEC & EPA would be false and be mere biased information! The state needs this to happen. It can take a good chunk of the state OUT of the red! I see the gas industry NOT as aggressive as it should be, UNLIKE those who are ill- informed!

Walter Hang has a website and an agenda...making money.
http://www.toxicstargeting.com/news/toxics-targeting-services
(However he does not believe landowners should be able to make money, I guess. Only Walter Hang and his cronies)

Walter Hang's group profits financially from every "problem" they can dig up or fabricate. They charge fees to then monitor or "remediate" the alleged problems.

I have also witnessed Walter Hang's dog and pony show. He was at the DEC hearings trying to create panic among the public with his lies.
Yes, he has already been proven wrong. That has never stopped him or the people he represents. There is a long list of groups who we now call obstructionists because they just want to stop all progress. When they fail with one lie they come up with another lie. It matters not what the reason is, and the reasons don't even have to make sense.
What doesn't help is that the newspapers fall for the sensationalism and disaster scenario, which sells papers, so they focus on these crazies and quote the extreme publications like ProPublica as if they were fact.
Join the fight, Sue, we need more help. There are now several thousand of us fighting back.
