Hinchey and gas drilling

pressconnects.com

July 20, 2009

Eight hundred jobs are U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey's top priority in his battle to keep the presidential helicopter program alive at Lockheed Martin. Why isn't he making a similar effort for the local jobs and revenue from drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale?

Is it because Hinchey has received thousands in campaign contributions from Lockheed Martin's political action committee? Or is it because he sits on the defense subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee?

If jobs are his concern, Hinchey should use his energy and time on behalf of farmers who are dying and jobs that are no longer available.

President Obama suggested we find energy resources within the United States. We have them in the Southern Tier. Hinchey's concern for jobs should be where positive results can be accomplished. The Marcellus Shale promises positive results.
