VISUALS: Dozens of boxes filled with public comments from New Yorkers on fracking regulations
WHY:
New Yorkers have been consistently expressing their opposition to
fracking to Governor Cuomo, including thousands who came to the Capitol
for
a demonstration before his State of the State address on Wednesday. The
governor is weighing whether or not to allow fracking in New York and
Friday marks the last day of the 30-day comment period on the Cuomo
administration’s draft regulations. Among the
millions of New Yorkers opposed to fracking, those submitting comments
have done so under protest because they do not believe any regulations
can prevent the dangers the process poses, and disagree with the Cuomo
administration’s decision to release draft
fracking regulations before its own health review has been completed
and made public.
