The sad thing is that the expedited permits are only being pushed for gas wells. Public schools, public park improvements, housing developments and employers are still being unfairly delayed in waiting for state environmental permits.


I guess everyone will have to wait to get the state environmental permits needed to replace their deteriorating bridges, because all of the staff are being told to concentrate on quickly approving gas wells.
