MarcellusMoney.org: New Site Tracks Natural Gas Donations to PA Officials
In order to prevent the Pennsylvania legislature from creating reasonable taxation measures and necessary safety rules, the drilling industry has made more than $3 million in political contributions to Pennsylvania lawmakers since 2001. It has spent an additional $5 million on lobbying in Harrisburg in just the last three years.
MarcellusMoney.org exists to shine a light on the gas industry’s attempts to influence our political leaders and to hold those leaders accountable to the citizens of Pennsylvania. This site is a project of Common Cause PA and Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania.

EQT and Dan Onorato
That is a shame, I was planning on voting for him. The ungliness of greed is rearing its head in Pa. All my neighbors have leased their property, wonder how they are going to feel when their water is poisoned and their property is worth nothing, as mine will be since my rights to my property will be taken from me. I smell greedy lawyers and lots of lawsuits. The almighty dollar over clean water, how disgusting is that!!
