Pittsburgh Dems Try to Bully Dem County Exec to Turn Against Shale

A small group of extremist left-wing Democrats in Pittsburgh are demanding Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, himself a Democrat and long-time supporter of the Marcellus Shale industry, turn against shale. Last week around 30 fossil fuel haters delivered a petition signed by 300 fellow haters to Fitzgerald's office. He didn't cave to the pressure, so the haters became more aggressive, going to Fitzgerald's house yesterday in their attempts to bully him into submission. The cops told them to clear out or get arrested.
