New York Post

Sept 20
Here's the truth about enacting a ban on hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") in your city or town. It may get you some headlines but long-term it is bad for business, all business. Just ask the good folks who make up the city council in Pittsburgh, who are all Democrats by the way. While much of Pennsylvania has been enjoying economic growth and lower than average unemployment because of the natural gas boom from the Marcellus Shale, the city of Pittsburgh enacted a ban on fracking two years ago that they've now come to regret.
