Re: DRBC Plans to Ban Fracking

Dear Governor Wolf:

On February 2, 2015, I mailed a letter to you regarding statements you made in your inaugural add.... Wanting to hold your feet to the fire, I challenged you to a meeting with the Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance executive team and the Wayne County Commissioners. With Senator Lisa Baker also in attendance, we met with you on June 8th. A follow up thank you letter, including a summary of the three key points discussed at the meeting, was sent to you on June 11th. The following shows a comparison of excerpts of my initial letter, including quotes from your inaugural address, and the key points in the summary of our meeting.

Initial letter: In your address, you mentioned the abundant natural resources present in Pennsylvania, and gas was the first item in the list. You said, “To fulfill our potential, we must take full and responsible advantage of these resources.”

Post meeting summary: We need to explore the benefits a severance tax would provide to all Pennsylvanians, as long as all Pennsylvanians, including those who are located within the DRBC, are guaranteed the right to develop their minerals.
