I thought it was illegal to poison people's air and water with toxic chemicals, but apparently our state officials think it is just fine, as long as it benefits a fracking gas company! No wonder so many people in my area, including myself, are sick!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope a lot of people show up at the Public Hearing to oppose Webb's injection well permit on June 4th!
