Texas’ oil, gas regulator refuses to talk to media

HOUSTON —


Texas’ oil and gas regulatory agency has instituted a blanket policy barring staff members from doing media interviews, raising questions about transparency as the state grapples with the intricacies of one of the largest energy booms in decades.

The Texas Railroad Commission, which has three commissioners leading one of the largest state agencies of its kind in the country, approved the policy in August, about a year after Milton Rister took over as the agency’s executive director. Since then, all media inquiries have been funneled through a spokeswoman who responds via email and bars any direct access to staffers.

1. Texas has to go...Rick Perry and the rest of those morons need to grow up and act

like adults or they gotta secede.

But, that would mean most of the south would have to go, many counties in CALIFORNIA as well, where racism and stupidity runs rampant.

So, I retract that about them having to go, and they are going purple soon so I guess I just need patience.

Wow, parts of America is dumber than dumb...

Didn't Jindal just sign a law that doesn't allow anyone in his state to sue the oil industry?

2. They are hiding injection of toxic water into faults from fracking.
