Heh all,

Right before the exciting City Council COW meeting this Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. where the future of the ban will be discussed informally, http://morgantown.com/agendas/2011/10-25-11-COW.pdf (Note: Bill Bryne will be in another country :) ..

Forum on Marcellus Shale Drilling

Tuesday, October 25, 2011, at 5:30 p.m., 126 Ming Hsieh Hall, WVU Downtown Campus

A Discussion of Important Issues From Various Viewpoints. Presented by Pi Sigma Sigma Public Policy Honorary and WVU Political Science Department. See flyer for more information.

Note the interesting line-up:

John King - WVDEP Environmental Advocate (Remember Pam Nixon at the SierraFest?)
Don Spencer - Ex-City Council, the biggest supporter for strong legislation .. resolutions, ban, etc.
WV4MOM - No idea who will be talking, I suspect that it may be Professor Tauger from political science
Dr. Carr - Interim director of WVU's marcellus initiative, self-describe industry advocate, and the worst choice imaginable by WVU's president.

A new page to watch, http://facultysenate.wvu.edu/marcellus. You may be able to catch both events concurrently.
