Questions for Candidates (draft)
Gubernatorial candidates weigh in on gas drilling
Attorney General Candidates on Marcellus Shale Drilling:
I want to bring to your attention the expanded section on HF policy on Schneiderman’s AG Agenda: http://www.ericschneiderman.com/issues?id=0008 . I have also attached the environmental agenda for you to review. The #1 priority on the agenda is “Sue to Prevent Hydrofracking.”
And this past weekend, ABC aired a debate between Schneiderman and his opponent, Dan Donovan. During the debate, a reporter asked about hydrofracking. In response, Donovan said: “As Attorney General, the first thing I recognize is the number of jobs that will be created.” In contrast, Schneiderman said: “The drinking water supply of New York City, the suburbs, for upstate, has to be protected. There is no going back one you pollute that watershed, and hydrofracking has that potential.” To watch a clip of the two hydrofracking answers, follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=301n2VUYYwk.
