Sorry Kids. Governor Perry Will Pass Gas in Your Neighborhood.

June 20, 2009 By TXsharon

WTF?

One of the few bills to make it through this legislative session that would actually help citizens in the Barnett Shale was vetoed by Governor Good Hair ASShat who decided he wants to pass gas in our neighborhoods.

Barnett Shale rights of way bill among 37 vetoed by Perry

In vetoing the Barnett Shale bill sponsored by state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, Perry said he agreed that the measure “would provide a benefit to communities and reduce the impact on private property owners.” But, he said, the measure, Senate Bill 686, conflicted with a similar bill he signed into law that permits gas corporations to lay and maintain lines under public rights of way.

Davis’ bill was a top priority for Fort Worth during the legislative session and was aimed at easing disruptions in residential areas as a result of natural gas drilling.

Sorry kids.

    I can't believe that we are letting the gas companies use our public road right-of-way for the laying of pipelines! Wonder what Lady Bird Johnson would say about that? What politicians we have!
