It’s Time for NYC Dems to Give Upstate NY Counties Right to Frack

As we've pointed out a number of times this year, the New York legislature (both chambers controlled by radical Democrats) passed a ban on "CO2 fracking" (uses carbon dioxide instead of water) back in March of this year (see Radicals Win in NY – Senate Passes Permanent Ban on CO2 Fracking). Yet, as we told you just two weeks ago, NY Gov. Kathy Hochul has still not signed the bill into law (see 8 Mo. After NY Legislature Passed CO2 Frack Ban, Gov Has Not Signed). Time is quickly running out for her to sign it before the next session of the legislature convenes in January. At that point, the bill would have to be reintroduced and passed again. Is there a sliver of a chance she won't sign it? Is there an even smaller sliver of a chance that Dems will reconsider their position and allow upstate counties to frack, given their shellacking not only nationally but here in Upstate, where Trump won almost every single county?
