The DRC has reported that the town of DISH, formerly known as Clark TX before winning a Dish Network contest, will be tested early next year for complications its residents are now suffering due to the increased and mostly unregulated gas drilling in its town and surrounding Denton County. The Texas Department of State Health Services will conduct the study, with a yet unnamed methodology. DISH has already commissioned its own study, showing a disturbing number of toxins in the air, directly produced by local gas drillers. We would suggest once the state gets done with DISH's immediate need, that they also conduct a study on Denton and Wise Counties. A study already shows how bad it is.
On the other side of things, the city of Denton has a new rig going in at the Rayzor Ranch development, right on top of parks and residential. The driller's way of dealing with the issue is to erect a sound barrier. Nevermind the toxins that will surely float above the sound barrier, right?
Remember all of this when your TX representatives and Railroad Commissioners ask for your vote in 2010. While they sit idly by, we continue to breathe in crap that gives us cancer.
