NY State Assembly Bill A-11443
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.

NY State Assembly Passes Moratorium Bill
The bill which passed in the NY State Assembly this week is a moratorium bill on permits for natural gas drilling which would require hydraulic fracturing. It does not stop ALL drilling for natural gas in NY State, only drilling of new wells. And it expires in six months. It awaits Governor Paterson's signature. Read the bill here:
