PA Bill Cuts Off Impact Tax Revenue to Municipalities that Sue O&G

Yes! It's about time!! Pennsylvania State Senator Gene Yaw (Republican from Lycoming County) is about to introduce a new bill that will cut off millions of dollars in tax revenues that flow from shale drilling to any municipality (county, town, village, city) that launches a lawsuit against "Big Oil," as recently happened with Bucks County, a Philadelphia suburb (see Bucks County, PA, Sues Big Oil for Causing “Climate Change”). The Democrat machine that controls Pittsburgh (i.e., Allegheny County) with an iron fist is also seriously considering a lawsuit against "Big Oil" (see CCI Tries to Tempt Allegheny County into Suing Oil & Gas Cos.). Enough! Yaw's bill will cut off such municipalities from the revenue --- millions of dollars --- that they currently enjoy from the industry they are suing.
