NY Senators Want Hearing on Fracking
Senate Democrats used parliamentary procedure to call for a public hearing by the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee on a wide list of bipartisan hydrofracking bills. The Committee chaired by Sen. Grisanti has not held one hearing on the issue of hydrofracking.
Because of the maneuver by the Senate Democratic Conference, Sen Grisanti has been forced to accept the petition for public hearing on these bills and must now schedule a public hearing within 14 days.
"For too long the Senate Republicans and Senator Grisanti have decided to brush the issue of hydrofracking under the rug. This issue is too important to ignore." stated Senate Democratic Spokesman Mike Murphy.
