Cuomo: Fracking Decision To Come Before Election
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he’ll make a decision about whether to allow shale gas fracking in New York before the 2014 election.
Cuomo says he’s waiting for his state health commissioner, Dr. Nirav Shah, to report on his own health review. The Democratic governor told the editorial board at the Post-Standard in Syracuse on Wednesday that he had expected Shah’s review to be finished by now, but it should be done in the next several weeks.
He made similar remarks in February.
Development has been on hold since the Department of Environmental Conservation began an environmental impact study of horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing in 2008.
