(MOREAU):
"GOVERNOR CUOMO CONTINUES TO IGNORE THE NEEDS OF NEW
YORK'S FAMILIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. ROBUST REGULATIONS ALREADY
EXIST--AT BOTH THE FEDERAL- AND STATE-LEVELS--FOR NATURAL-GAS DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
WHAT'S MORE, REVENUE FROM NATURAL-GAS PRODUCTION SUPPORTS ROAD- AND BRIDGE-IMPROVEMENTS; WATER- AND SEWER-PROJECTS; HOUSING-INITIATIVES; ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS; AND THE REHABILITATION OF GREENWAYS.
GOVERNOR CUOMO'S STATEWIDE BAN ON HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IS THE RESULT OF POLITICAL GAMESMANSHIP.
IT ALSO REPRESENTS THE WRONG DIRECTION FOR NEW YORK--AND A MISSED OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE IN
AMERICA'S ENERGY-RENAISSANCE."
