UPDATE on Fracking Ban for Brookfield: Message from Supervisor John Salka 2-5-15:
"Although progress is going slow, it is progress nonetheless. I have been in contact with attorneys from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NDRC) and we will be entering into an agreement with them to perform pro bono work assisting us in writing, proposing and adopting a local law that will effectively ban hydraulic fracturing within the town of Brookfield. As I have said in the past, this is something that we need to do very meticulously so as not to lose if it is challenged. Although New York State has instituted a ban, my concern is that it was more of a political than practical decision and subject to the whims of such.
Also, the road use law is in the works.
I hope to be able to brief the board at Monday’s meeting."
