Corbett sold out state to gas industry by Karen Dixon, June 08, 2012, Pocono Record
It was only after I contacted the Army Corps of Engineers and filed a lawsuit that the DEP took notice and responded. Violations were issued for violations of the Clean Waters Act, failing to use best land management practice and more. The stream bed dried up after the fracking, strawberries were gone, and I felt like the Lorax. The state of Pennsylvania continues to hand out these permits like candy to selfish children. Gov. Corbett took close to $1 million in oil/gas related political contributions, which would explain how this industry has become rogue and uncontrollable in Pennsylvania.
