LINCOLN — A state senator wants to formally study disbanding the Nebraska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in response to its approval of a project for the commercial disposal of oil-production wastewater.
Sen. Ken Haar of Malcolm said Thursday he is upset that the commission ignored a letter signed by seven state senators seeking a delay in considering the wastewater disposal well in northwest Nebraska. The commission approved the controversial project Wednesday, despite the senators’ request for more time to study the regulation of disposal wells.
“I for one am angry, and I hope we can do something about it,” Haar said.
Bill Sydow, director of the Sidney-based commission, said the State Attorney General’s Office had advised the agency that it should not delay the vote.

Then out of courtesy to oil and gas backed polluting commissioners industry, the elected representative send a letter for the population of the state and its ignored (who has more power------commission called hacks for oil and gas).
This tells you two things----one, there commissioners and we don't care about any stinking ground water to live off of.
Two , who does the attorney general work for---apparently he sides with the same hacks the commissioners back----oil and gas, nice guy.
