Then, how can the state & municipalities earn revenue from hydrofracking, while at the same time, paying for the costs associated with it?  It’s a question that Carol Chock and Dan Barber have been trying to figure out.  They are part of a working group associated with the Tompkins County Council of Governments (TCCOG), which is urging New York State to refrain from issuing gas drilling permits until “it can capture appropriate taxes and fees and allocate them to cover costs to all levels of government, based on sound policy and verifiable data.”  Both Chock and Barber will join us to explain.
