Bill Banning Fracking Waste Passes State Senate, Headed To Governor

by guest blogger Linda Baum


I received the following communication from Jim Walsh of Food and Water Watch and just wanted to let you know: “The Senate passed the [fracking waste] ban 30-5 with 5 abstentions. This is huge moment that is a testament to everyone's hard work on this effort.”

Many thanks to all of you who contacted your legislators to support A575/S253. This victory in the legislature is an important step in keeping our water sources clean, protecting our health, and ensuring a vibrant marine economy. We must now turn our attention to the Governor to make sure he signs on. New Jersey must not become the nation’s dumping ground.
Please send an email to Governor Christie asking him not to veto the fracking waste ban and share this link with your friends: http://bit.ly/NoFrackingVetoGovChrisite

I will keep you posted on future developments, and thank you all once again.
