In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

New York DEC Region 7 Demonstration June 14 in Syracuse
It is not okay to turn any part of New York or any New Yorkers into sacrificial guinea pigs. The science is clear that nothing short of a statewide ban will protect all New Yorkers.
Do not frack New York! Fracking poorer counties is unethical just because the citizens need money and think that gas drilling will make them rich. Start small in the Southern Tier? Then what? With a foot in the door, go big later? Is that the plan? Let drilling spread gradually? No. We must not allow New York to be fracked.
