ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Busloads of opponents of natural gas
drilling using hydraulic fracturing are in Albany to hear the state's
top environmental official testify before lawmakers.
State
lawmakers are expected to question Department of Environmental
Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens about fracking. One shouting
protester confronted Martens before he began his testimony Monday
morning.
Later Monday, Arun Gandhi, grandson of nonviolent protest
leader Mahatma Gandhi, will be among those presenting a "pledge of
resistance" to fracking to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo has said his
budget doesn't include increased spending for fracking regulation
because DEC hasn't completed its environmental review and decided
whether to end a 4 ½-year-old moratorium.
