PA Royalty House bill is dead?

I just saw this info on "Marcellus Drilling News"

Pennsylvania landowners can and should be angry with the Republican-controlled PA House of Representatives. Word has just come that an important royalty bill–HB 1684–is now on the “back burner” until fall. Fall is the height of the election season and you know darned well nothing will get done on the bill at that point–so for all intents the bill is dead for this year. Which is a shame. What is HB 1684? Our shorthand name for the bill is the “stop Chesapeake Energy from screwing landowners out of their royalties”

Hi Stan,

             I see that after long languishing on page two of the House Calendar, HB1684 is now heading up page 6.

From casual observation, I note that where a bill resides on the calendar has little to say about when it comes up in session.

I hope that the report you reference is wrong ..... but .... I would not at all be surprised to learn that what you relate is true .... HB1684 (un-amended) is a strong weapon in protecting PA royalty holders .... the Minions of Satan have lined up against HB 1684.

Let us hope that the interests of the citizen's of PA are more important than further enriching those who will take their additional profits out of PA (and in some cases, out of America).

12 1/2% should mean 12 1/2%.

All IMHO,
