Ceretto: Let Prudence Be Our Guide To Hydrofracking
March 6, 2013
Assemblyman John Ceretto (R,I-Lewiston) today voted in favor of legislation extending the state’s moratorium on horizontal hydraulic fracturing, known as hydrofracking, until May 15, 2015.
“My number one concern regarding this issue is that of the health and well-being of the communities I represent. The Love Canal, which is in my district, is proof of what can occur if proper precautions are not taken to ensure the health and safety of residents,” said Ceretto. “The moratorium will give the state the time it needs to finish ongoing health and environmental impact studies, while allowing for additional tests to be done by independent groups to ensure that if and when horizontal hydrofracking comes to New York, it is done in the safest possible manner.”
