The Left Cooks Up a Recipe to Ban Fracking in PA Municipalities

| | | |

The leftist members of the Allegheny, PA County Council have proven just how leftward they have lurched (and how unhinged they have become). In July, the Council voted to overturn the veto of a ban on drilling for natural gas under (never on top of) county parks (see Allegheny County Council Overturns Veto/Upholds Frack Ban in Parks). The Council’s action denies taxpayers millions of dollars in revenue to fix and repair and expand county parks. County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, a Democrat himself, vetoed the idiotic ban, but the Democrats of the County Council just couldn’t help themselves. They voted to override Fitzgerald’s veto. Full of themselves and their “victory” in making all county residents poorer, the anti-fossil fuel fanatics recently discussed how the same strategy could be used to shut down drilling in Allegheny County’s 130 municipalities and townships.
