Raleigh City Council Prepares Fracking Resolution

By |

It appears it isn’t just environmental and community groups who are wary about the possibility of hydraulic fracturing in North Carolina. Raleigh’s City Council is working on a resolution requesting “no legislation in this field until the safety of the process can be established by the appropriate state agencies.” There are two different drafts of the resolution, which were discussed briefly at the last council meeting May 1. One was prepared by the Raleigh City Attorney’s office and the other by District D Counselor Thomas Crowder. The former draft portrays the issue in a much more negative light in regards to the environmental impact of fracking.
