Prostituting Penn's Woods: Rise of the Fifth Caucus

Well, well. ( No pun intended ). Seems our Growing Greener Governor is about to open even more of  our state forests to drilling. How do you feel about that? As citizens of the commonwealth of PA, that land is ours. It's held in trust for us per our Constitution:

Article I, section 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution provides as follows:

Sec. 27. Natural Resources and the Public Estate


The people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania's public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come. As trustee of these resources, the Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all the people.

It seems a closed-door deal was struck with the four main caucuses of the General Assembly to make this happen. Well, they left out the fifth and most important CaucUS...WE, the People.

Sometimes the cosmic tumblers come together for no apparent reason. The timing of my protest could not be any better.
