Dear Readers:
I made a mistake. I thought State Senator Greg Ball was pro-jobs. I thought State Senator was for affordable energy. I thought State Senator Greg Ball for small business. Boy did I get that wrong. Greg Ball stands with the Working Families Party and political hacks like David Welprin in his stance against hydrofracking.
To “frack” a gas well, millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals, (yes, some are toxic), are pumped deep underground at high pressure. This fractures the rock that has trapped the natural gas and allows it to escape.
He says in a recent press release "“The gas industry stands at the precipice of earning billions of dollars from New York’s natural gas resources and has yet to sit down and answer tough questions about how they plan to protect our state." The first part is true. The gas industry does stand to make billions. He forgets to mention that so does New York State in fees and taxes. He also forgets to mention that the gas industry will generate 54,000 jobs, 24,795 drilling, mostly private sector union jobs, and 29,174 supporting jobs as small businesses open and hire employees to service these new drilling jobs. Deli's, corner markets, bars and restaurants to name a few. You are looking at a reported 2.5 billion dollars in annual wages. Greg Ball is against this.
The second part of the above quote is not true. The Department of Environmental Conservation, not a bastion of conservative bureaucrats, is initiating a 90 day public comment period. The norm is 60 days. Their reports states that whatever possible dangers there are can be mitigated with the new technics in hydrofracking. The report argues that tightly regulated drilling outside the water supply should move forward.
What Senator Ball want to do is talk about this for another six months. While people are worried about paying their bills and hoping against hope for a job, Greg Ball wants to talk. He has turned his back on the Republican Party and the Conservative Party. He now embraces the Working Families Party. For years I was his only defender in the media. I can not and will not defend him on this. He is wrong. If the people of Senate District 4 wanted a tree-hugging liberal, they would have elected Kaplowitz. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
