Since I will be doing a story re the Monroe Count memo of understanding, please remove my comment which is “awaiting moderation” and substitute the following:
The WV legislature’s new effort to finalize legislation regulating gas drilling by summer or early fall is good news.
Monroe County and Gordy Oil Co. have had to resort to a memorandum of understanding to address issues that should be regulated by state law. The result is additional expenses for Gordy which its competitors don’t have to bear. There should be a level, well-defined playing field for all prospective drillers in WV.
