Injection wells do NOT involve fracking. Fracking is a part of the overall drilling process that is used to break up the rock in the hopes of producing a gas/oil well. An INJECTION well like the one in Youngstown is a well in which contaminated fluids are deposited (i.e. it is not a producing oil/gas well. Having said that, the evidence thus far does indicate that the INJECTION well (not fracking) probably did cause the earthquake.
Would someone from the democrat party please talk to this fool and get him to retire. He is an embarrassment. And if you intend on ever voting for this guy again you are a moron.
Bob Hagan is obviously against this plant and these jobs because it involves the oil and gas industry. This plant would not exist nor would VM Star if Bob Hagan had his way.
What about a new library in Canfield? It is a dump. I have more books in my house than the branch in Canfield has. Why did Poland, Austintown, and Boardman get new libraries?
The potential for natural gas exploration is the first big thing to happen to this area in 40 years and Bob Hagan wants to stop it. Hagan, who has milked the taxpayers for decades as he goes from one government job to the next, wants to deny his constituents the ability to get good paying jobs. Apparently, he wants us all to be on welfare. Why people in this area continue to vote for this guy is beyond me. How can union people vote for him when he is anti jobs?
Hagan scores half-truth in earthquake comments
Using Hagan's logic you could also say:
"We never had an earthquake in Youngstown until Barack Obama was elected President."
Hagan's idiocy never fails to amaze.

Nice story. Would be nice to know how much a "donor bar" costs?
