Listening to the County Commisioners' reaction, it sounds as intelligent as a discussion between Larry, Curly, and Moe. They are believing, without any questioning, of the "economic/tax benefits" claimed by the proponents of the pipeline. They promise a chicken in every pot and it will be safe chickens. They say this is not about fracking, but as soon as the pipeline is in, then the fracking will begin and clean water will end. These three clowns are elected to represent the people, not the pockets of the pipeline company. The people don't want it. Start listening you three clowns.
Norman, while you have the right idea, I have to say that calling names and screaming is not going to get you heard (on your Facebook page). I've written to you before about the pipeline and what benefits this will have for Pocahontas County. Let's see, those benefits were....nothing. Like I've said before, locals will not be hired to do the most (if any) work. The biggest boon to the economy will be the contractors that come in from out of state. They will stay in hotels, eat at restaurants, shop in grocery stores and buy their fuel locally. While we're on that subject, let's look a little closer at it. This pipeline will be built across the very northern part of the county. I hope nobody thinks that any contractor is going to actually *stay* in Pocahontas County? Where will they stay?? These guys aren't going to stay in some little no-tell motel in the middle of absolutely no where. They're going to stay in Elkins or some other bigger place where there's actually restaurants, grocery stores, and quite simply, something for them to do in the off hours. Besides, Marlinton is just as far (or farther) than Elkins will be from where they will be working. The contractors aren't coming to Pocahontas County to enjoy the scenery. They have a job to do and a specified time to complete it in, so they won't be playing around. People of Pocahontas County you are fooling yourselves if you think for one minute that this pipeline is going to bring *any* economic benefit to the county. Oh, and some people are talking about how "once it's in, you won't even know it's there", well, trust me, you will *always* know it is there. Some people are talking as if the land that it's buried under will still be usable. Ha! You can't *build* anything on top of a pipeline or it's right of way, are you kidding me? People of Pocahontas County, you really need to wake up, really investigate all the facts about this before you go running off at the mouth about how great an opportunity this is. You will allow Dominion to come thru here and destroy the one and only thing that makes Pocahontas County so great.....and so different from any where else.
