However, the oil and gas provisions are not the only concern. SB 601 also puts our local and regional solid waste authorities at a competitive disadvantage with the so-called "recycling" facilities that are being deregulated, jeopardizing the public investment in these facilities. Your senators need to hear a similar message. More

Call Now! SB 508 Takes Away Citizens’ Right to Sue Over Drilling Impacts
SB 508 undermines the law hundreds of West Virginians have used to file suit against the oil and gas companies whose activities have negatively affected their quality and way of life, making it virtually impossible for other affected residents to bring similar suits in the future. Bringing this type of legal action is the only recourse many people have. We can't let the Legislature take this right away. Please contact members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and your Senators and tell them to oppose SB 508 and preserve our right to bring nuisance suits. More
