I'd heard that a group was looking at changing the Youngstown city charter to ban drilling and fracking. I didn't really pay much attention because state law preempts local laws when it comes to such things.
Yesterday I heard some discussion on a local talk show. Not only does the law ban drilling and fracking in the city but also any affiliated businesses. So V&M Star's new $1 billion pipe mill would be banned from selling pipe for oil and gas wells. Several other businesses that supply the industry have also opened in Ytown recently.
I dont think any part of the new law would stand up in court but 4000 citizens of Ytown signed the petition. Im sure even more will vote for it, it gets voted on in the May primary. The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me. Why do the really stupid things seem to originate in Democrat controlled areas? (That was a rhetorical question)
