This is totally outrageous. Talk about sneaky rush jobs!!! Where is UMRA? Why isn't there a protest planned? Why isn't a lawyer filing an injunction? Has it been in the Morgantown media? Do Morgantown residents know?

At the annual Morgantown League of Women Voters meeting today, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what the major topic of discussion was about. Both Barbara Fleischauer and Charlene Marshall were in attendance (Amanda Pasdon is a member, too). Legislatures can be members but they can't serve on Board positions.
The Natural Resources committee convened after the meeting. We will have a spokesperson at both Tuesday evening's City Councils meeting and the Wednesday morning's County Commission meeting. Our approach will be to ask for both an injunction and a City ban like the one Wellsburg just passed that includes extending the ban 1 mile from City's boundaries which is allowable under State law if a City feels it is under threat. The sentiment is that Morgantown should have an ordinance ban, and that Morgantown's Lawyer is incorrect in his assertion that such an ordinance would have no legal teeth because of Home Rule. Morgantown LWVWV thinks as many organizations as possible should be pushing for an injunction.
The Morgantown LWV is going to advertise in the newspaper (LTE) that we will be present at both the City Council and County Commission.
The news now is that drilling will begin on Wednesday so we still have a tiny bit of time. Fracking starts at a later date.

Time to protest? Demonstrate? Give me a call if anyone wants to - my Internet is currently spotty.
