Hi.  I'm urging all Morgantown green groups to please write a letter encouraging the City Council to pass the resolution that calls for a temporary cessation of the issuing of new gas drilling permits.  The resolution will be considered tomorrow, Tuesday at 7PM.  Send reps to the meeting if you can. 

The WVDEP is already overwhelmed and no protective law was passed during the legislative session to provide funding to the WVDEP nor give the agency any teeth for enforcement. 

Here is the link to see the resolution.  Help if you can.  A strong message needs to be sent to the governor and the legislators, particularly as there is a gubernatorial election coming up in May.  Thank you.  Dee Fulton
