ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Opponents of shale gas drilling that involves blasting chemical-laden water deep into the ground are asking Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top campaign contributors to pressure him to ban the practice in the state.
New York Residents Against Drilling and several other groups sent a letter to Cuomo’s top 1,000 individual donors on Wednesday saying Cuomo’s reported plan to permit hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in a limited area would “treat Southern Tier residents as second class citizens and unfairly subject them to potentially irreparable hazards.”
