Fracking secrecy alleged in court case in Pennsylvania by Julie Sherwood, April 26, 2012, MPNnow.com
Those alleging secrecy by the natural gas industry in a court case focused on the gas drilling method of hydrofracking are getting help from a coalition of advocates that include doctors, scientists and researchers. The nonprofit environmental law firm Earthjustice, which is providing the experts, reported that the The Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the Observer-Reporter are seeking to overturn a court order sealing the record in a case in which a Pennsylvania family sued several gas companies over alleged health impacts related to air and water pollution from nearby natural gas development operations. The gas companies are allegedly fighting to keep the records out of the public eye.
