RW's 'Bundy' hypocrisy: GOP-run states rewriting land rules to FORCE FRACKING on landowners

[blm]

GOP governors are rewriting rules to FORCE FRACKING on private landowners state by state.

And they are doing it for their fascist puppet masters like Koch Industries. Interesting that no news media picked up on that major hypocrisy throughout this Bundy story. It's OK for Koch puppet Republicans to force fracking on private landowners, but, not OK for federal marshals to collect fees owed for use of public lands?

This is the point that ALL Dem spokespeople should be making in their attacks against GOP governors and Kochs. Not ALL tea baggers will be happy with the facts.

Officials OK rule to force fracking on NC landowners

RALEIGH — North Carolina landowners would be forced to sell the natural gas under their homes and farms – whether they want to or not – under a fracking recommendation approved Wednesday that’s expected to be enacted by the state legislature this fall.

The proposal by a state study group endorses a rarely used 1945 law that’s never been tried here on the kind of scale that would be required for shale gas exploration, or fracking. Thousands of property owners could potentially be affected in the state’s gas-rich midsection in Lee, Moore and Chatham counties.

The recommendation, dealing with one of the most emotional fracking issues, bypasses the N.C. Mining and Energy Commission, which holds regular public hearings on protecting the public and safeguarding the environment, and goes to the legislature.

“We are talking about a for-profit industry taking away personal freedoms with the blessing of the government,” Therese Vick, a community activist with the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, told the Compulsory Pooling Study Group. “Personal freedoms are seldom on the radar when the gas companies come to town.”
