DRBC Alarmed at Potential Loss of Authority to Ban Fracking

The far-left activists who occupy and control the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) are shocked and dismayed that their iron grip on power is slipping away. As we reported yesterday, Congress is close to adopting an amendment to the federal Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) that would block the DRBC and its sister organization, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC), from banning hydraulic fracturing (and shale drilling) within their respective jurisdictions (see Congress Close to Overturning DRBC Ban on Watershed Fracking). It's no skin off SRBC's nose as that organization has allowed safe shale fracking in its region for nearly two decades. Only the lefties of the DRBC would be affected. And they don't like it.
