This article is joke. What about increased crimes against women and residents living in the shale gas fields as transient male workers move in in large numbers, typical in small towns with a small police force. Southern Belle is right on... Here is what is happening with crime in the N. Dakota Bakken Shale:
Dickinson, N.D., police say the workload in its criminal investigations unit has risen dramatically in the last year.
Sgt. Dave Wilkie told city commissioners that the unit has seen a 400 percent increase in burglary investigations over the last year. He said assault and sex offense cases are up by at least 300 percent, and property crime probes have increased more than 200 percent.
Dickinson Mayor Dennis Johnson says an increase in crime is one of the negative aspects of an oil boom and says the city has been increasing its police staff.
The Dickinson Press reports that the investigations unit has handled nearly 600 cases this year.
Hey ABC! Liar liar liar and a liar, you lie! I’m putting my fingers in my ears! Fracking is 100% safe, ALWAYS. No one’s health will get be marred by this process. Move along, ABC.
Oh yea, and Ingraffea, shut up about Ingraffea. And Colborn too, and all those endocrine disruptors and carginogens. We can’t have people knowing about that stuff. You should be thankful to risk your health and peaceful enjoyment of your home because a few might get a temporary job. A few from Texas that is.
The state has taken local control away from communities, hence why all our local officials always say "sorry our hands are tied." The charter amendment seeks to bring control back to the local community. It will establish the community's right to decide what happens in the city.
It is the inalienable right of the people to protect their environment, health, safety, welfare and quality of life.
Yellow Springs Ohio banned fracking within their community and their community has approximately 3,000 people, so what evidence do you have UticaShale, that rural towns want their backyards fracked and their towns industrialized with gas infrastructure?
Since fracking is just moving into Ohio, Youngstown has taken the lead in being one of the first towns to try to enact ban (as did Broadview Heights, Yellow Springs, and Mansfield's injection well ban), so I think it is a little premature to say the rural areas are begging to have massive frack pads in their backyards.
As time goes on, we can only expected to see MORE bans being pursued as people start to object to having their neighborhoods converted to industrialized gas fields.
oh13voter stated "The information from blood and urine tests can lie, if you distort the information."
That brings to mind how the PA DEP (PA's version of our ODNR) were found to have developed a specialized computer-code system to manipulate the test results for residents whose water was tested by the DEP over concerns of adverse effects from gas drilling operations.
According to the transcripts, which have been filed as exhibits in a related lawsuit in Washington County Court of Common Pleas (Haney et al. v. Range Resources et al., Case No. 2012-3534), the DEP lab would conduct water tests using an EPA-approved standard, but the DEP employee who requested the testing would use a specially designed ‘Suite Code’that limits the information coming back from the DEP lab to the DEP field office, and ultimately to the property owner.
So homeowners who complained their water had turned bad, were not informed of the chemicals in their water.
And we should invite this industry into Ohio with open arms?!
Vote YES to protect our loved ones and our grandchildren and future generations.
Again, the EPA has no authority to regulate injection of fracking chemicals into the ground as underground injection control (UIC) was specifically exempted under the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
oh13voter: You address the property rights of those that you say are denied the right to be fracked, but what about the rights of those property owners that do not want to be fracked?
They have no say, as they are forcefully integrated into drilling units under blatantly un-American laws.
It is eminent domain for private corporations.
And don't give the tired out excuse they get royalities, if they cared about money in the first place, they'd have leased.
Rig security essential to oil and gas industry’s operations
Tyically in small towns. My error.
Also, you'd never hear this addressed by any major media, as shale gas drilling has one focus, job hype.
