Corbett Hamstrings DEP with More Budget Cuts

     
Having shoveled tons of muck and debris from homes and businesses in the Wyoming Valley after Hurricane Agnes in the summer of '72, I fully understand the flood prone nature of the Susquehanna River basin and the devastation flooding can wreak.

Here's a quote from a Citizen's Voice article about recent DEP cuts:


"The cuts include $2.3 million to DEP general government, all $682,000 for the Safe Water program and the entire $3.4 million for flood control projects."
 
So, Team Tom-Tom - bought and paid for by the natural gas industry - continues to work its their master plan right in front of our eyes.  Let me guess what their ultimate storyline will be: 

"Approving More Water Withdrawals for natural gas drilling will eliminate threat of flooding in Commonwealth."

    
That sounds about right...

 
Reminder to all Pennsylvanians: This is OUR commonwealth, and Tommy C. and his cast of characters work for US!

Are we ready for a recall yet?
