Drilling tax proposal sparks blowback
By Timothy Cama

The U.S. oil and gas industry is mounting an aggressive campaign to beat back a Pennsylvania proposal to impose a new tax on natural gas production in the state.

Maybe that tax can be used to repair and maintain the roads to which fracking trucks cause so much wear-&-tear. A 'fix' for Corbett's corporate welfare gift when he raised a number of transportation abd other fees that affect PA citizens and gave frackers a free infrastructure ride.

1. Here's the bottom line:

"Susquehanna Polling Research has found that 70 percent of the state’s voters support a severance tax."

The drillers have been getting away with murder, and the citizens of PA know it.

2. I've seen the tv ads. Why don't they quit bitching and pay up

They are still going to make tons of money while ruining our state

3. Exactly...it isn't like this is unheard of in any other state.

They are paying a severance tax in every single gas/oil producing state, so I don't see why they are so upset....well, except that they spent a large amount of money to get Corbett re-elected. Money down the rabbit hole.
