In reply to the discussion: Fracking Issues - NOT restricted to PA, but very relevant to all states with this problem. [View all]grntuscarora
(1,249 posts)18. Senator Mcllhinney evidently thinks carving out an exemption
for Bucks County, while leaving the rest of PA to the mercy of Act 13, is a great idea. I think it's despicable. Imo, we're all in this together and municipalities all across PA should be united in fighting Act 13.
Senator Mcllhinney sounds like a self-serving, rethug slug.
I grew up in Bucks Co. and remember when beautiful Lake Nockamixon opened. My dad and I canoed and fished on it when I was young. He really loved that lake.
God protect it from the drillers and the frackers.
