Frackers need to pay for WV roads they damage [View all]
To: WV Legislature; From: Steve Conlon (Wetzel County, WV)
Subject: Rebuilding gas industry impacted roads
...
"It has now been 8 years since gas industry activity started here. Certainly we’ve “seen it all here”. Roads have been destroyed, widened, rebuilt. Sharp curves have been removed. Some homes have been removed."
...
"Obviously, the State is not charging the gas companies the correct amount for using our roads. HB2080 gets us the money, but it takes it out of our own pocket. ..."
...
"We need to very calmly have the nerve to charge the gas industry companies for their road impacts. And, I am willing to pay more for my vehicular impact. Now is the time. Bury HB 2080. Let’s try a different angle."
