The false promise of fracking and local jobs

[Sarcastica]

6. A more disturbing event, was just before I left eastern Ohio in December, the local school board was

negotiating with the local fracking operation over school start times. The one-lane, winding, mountain roads can't support big trucks and school buses at the same time, so the frackers were asking the schools to start school later in the day because fracking trucks were traveling the roads early in the morning and could not get around buses. I left before a decision was made.

I'm convinced that they do not hire locals because locals would never screw the environment, economy and social fabric of their own communities. They hire financially struggling outsiders who close their eyes when trucks are pumping waste brine into the local creeks....
