The shale gas industry certainly got what it paid for in PA - they call it a Corbett.

[HopeHoops]

Among his other disgusting moves, Corbett has stacked the 30-member drilling advisory panel with shale industry executives. But the icing on the cake is his appointment of a well-known environmental terrorist to the lead position AND giving him authority to override EPA regulations if, and I shit you not, "job issues are involved".

All of that campaign money is certainly paying off.

1. I wonder if people can start charging corporations with

attempted murder. They dump life threatening chemicals.

[HopeHoops]

2. Oh, much worse than that. Corbett's fucking the hospitals for over $330 just this year!!!

In a nutshell, he's cutting $150m in aid to hospitals in the state (for low-income patient assistance) and that will result in over $180m in lost federal money. He's a fucking asshole from hell.

6. Well, aren't they considered people now?

And shouldn't they be subject to the laws of people?

4. he's allowing the gas industry to dump toxic and radioactive waste in our river

refuses to tax the industry as it pollutes our drinking water

5. My state sold itself to the Devil.
