Hundreds Oppose Drilling in Loyalsock State Forest at Public Meeting [VIDEO]

[Counterpoint PA]

This is a video from my new Internet newscast, the only grassroots progressive media show exclusively about Pennsylvania politics, Counterpoint PA.

In this video, I talk about the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources being pressured to finally host a public meeting about its negotiations with two fracking companies to start drilling for natural gas in the Loyalsock State Forest and show video from the meeting, where over 400 people showed up and every member of the public that made a statement was either opposed to or worried by the potential drilling.

1. thanks for posting this!

I'm an hour or so south of Loyalsock and have been trying to stay on top of the story. No help from my local news which is not covering it at all. Thanks for the update and you're on my twitter feed now

2. That's seriously one of the highest compliments you can pay me.

One of the biggest parts of my motivation for doing this project is because of stories like this that don't get covered in any statewide or local establishment video media. So I'm very glad to be able to bring this information to you, and thanks for very much for the Twitter follow!
