Jon Campbell - Gannett News : Fracking deadlines approaching this week

New York State officials are facing some hard deadlines over the next few weeks with regards to whether or not the state will allow the drilling of natural gas extraction wells using the controversial process known as hydrofracking.

WAMC’s Patrick Donges spoke recently with Gannett New York State Government reporter Jon Campbell for an update on state’s fracking decision making process.

His work is published in Gannett newspapers including the Elmira Star Gazette and the Poughkeepsie Journal and can be read online at the Journal News’ Albany Watch blog.
