Highway Robbery, SOS, & Upcoming Events

[RDA - Responsible Drilling Alliance]

"I am 90 years old. I never thought I'd outlive our forests!"

Barbara Rucinski

 

Newly-elected Governor Corbett has proposed to lease our remaining State forestlands, sacrificing a long-term sustainable resource as a temporary solution to the state’s budget challenges.  Please help RDA to stop the madness. Join with Barbara Rucinski and hundreds of other PA residents who have visited the website, added comments, and signed the petition at: www.SOSinPA.org

 

Highway Robbery – 9.48 Billion Gallons per Day

“My dad always taught me that if you borrowed something, you should always return it in a better condition than when you received it. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for some of our Commonwealth property that is being borrowed and, in some cases, outright stolen without compensation… Water is literally being taken without compensation, and it makes me mad. It should also make you mad, because it is your property, too. It has an impact on our aquatic resources and your quality of life.”  Read the full article, written by John Arway, Executive Director of the PA Fish and Boat Commission.
