I read how some areas of Pennsylvania and Ohio are enjoying profits from the fracking. If these areas are making money, they should also assume the responsibility and risks of disposing of the waste products produced by this process. Dump them at home. Don't send fracking waste to Mansfield.
Mansfield doesn't profit from the proposed waste injection wells, so why should we be asked to risk the environmental risk hazards associated with them.
I am supporting the "Donations Against Injection Wells" fund established by Mansfield Finance Director Linn Steward.
I urge other concerned citizens to contribute. The only way to fight being a dumping ground is to band together. An old Ethiopian proverb says "When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion," or in this case maybe the big oil companies.
