I am smack dab in the middle of four well pads that are fracking. Unless you know it is going on, you will never know there is a pad in your area. The companies that are fracking in my area actually IMPROVE the land surrounding the pad and it is evident the royalties are hitting a lot of properties; home improvements, new vehicles, restaurants PACKED on the weekends. People now have more disposable income and it is starting to show. Now I question how PA will F it up with regulations and taxation.
“Now I question how PA will F it up with regulations and taxation.”
Part of that will be answered tomorrow night since this stupid state has a sick fascination with teachers unions. Of course, had Corbett shown 1/2 the resolve of Walker up in WI (and not toyed with the gas tax), he’d have probably coasted to a second term.
Wolf, come hell or high water, will find a way to screw things up to pay off the teachers unions for a couple of years ... when those ticks and leeches blow all of that money and wreck that industry, they’ll whine about something else for exploitation.
Its sad ... PA could be a great state ... cancer in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh screw it up royally.
