Mike McCowan, past president of the WV Independent Oil and Gas Association, in his August 3rd letter to the Wetzel Chronicle of New Martinsville, stated as follows: "The New Martinsville City Council ordinance that prohibits natural gas drilling and exploration within city limits is detrimental to the local economy. If this ordinance stays in place, companies will take their business to other parts of the state." After a public hearing, the City Council voted on first reading to approve a motion to cancel this ban. The final vote (second reading) will take place on September 5th.
