Gov. Wolf's DEP - still undermanned and underequipped
Undermanned and underequipped, it took PA state regulators years to finally discover the 44 violations reported yesterday from just one fracking company for failing to clean up their drilling sites within 9 months.
The worst part? The violations were triggered by the company's response to a question asked last summer – not through actual inspection of the sites.
As I learned in the Navy, you can only “expect what you inspect.” Our leaders continue to ignore this dictum, and it’s part of the reason why I have supported a moratorium on fracking.
Please watch the below video from the first debate of this election, where Sestak explained why he is still in favor of a moratorium on fracking – then please contribute what you can so that he can protect the people’s land, water, air, and health in the U.S. Senate.
