i was not aware the counties could stop drilling, I am not saying they cannot just that I thought it was a state/property owner decision

Quite a few towns around me have passed moratoriums disallowing drilling and/or fracking inside their boundaries. Not sure how legal they are, but 5-10 have.

Yep, lots of stories about such things in the Denton Record Chronicle and the town I live in stopped it in some parts of the town while the rework ordinances.

As far as property value loss, i am referring to the property the fluid was spilled on, if that landowner should suffer any loss in value due to the gas company's negligence, then I feel they should be held accountable,as in punitive damages.

And, the property owner(s) can file a civil suit, don't you think?
Now, I do think many companies lawyers will do any delaying tactics they can...that's wrong.

As far as this:

Tom Corbett let me down as the SAG, I filed a suit, and he never followed up with me, even after repeated phone calls. I had purchased my wife a local gift card for 200.00 for her wedding anniversary. Soon after the company closed up shop.

I guess we didn't get the whole story, but why would the State's Attorney General get involved in what sounds like a civil matter?

It appeared to be more fraudulent, as the owners clear out.

You were responding about the gift card?

Yes, that is why I called the Better business bureau and the State attorney general. Needless to say, I never recieved the money back. I personally believe they opened elsewhere nearby under a different name. But without knowing who owned the business in the first place, it does me little good. This is where the SAG would have stepped in to resolve the issue.

Ok... I'm as guilty as the next guy, I've run my mouth and said things I regret... But it was pretty much to make a point, there are too many hair trigger, flash in the pan people here, yes, myself included. Can we get back to tractors and leave the politics and bull$hit out of it? If not, I'm done with this forum and it's crap. I've learned some really great stuff here, but have been goaded into some bad dialogues. This is a TRACTOR forum, right?

The simple solution to threads that don't interest is to not click.

If they weren't fracking on my block, I might let it go. But as it is, I drink the water here. The water comes out of the ground that some fast buck guys want to pump their secret chemical cocktails into. I didn't get to vote on it, and even if I did, I can't make an informed vote. I only had the choice to not sign the lease, but that doesn't stop them. It just means I didn't get the payoff for signing my rights away. If I have a claim, I get to lawyer up. Try that on my pension.
