Seen and Overheard Last Night
After the 3 1/2 Hour Grand Prairie City Council Work Session on the Proposed *New* Shale Gas Drilling Ordinance ~ Chesapeake representatives* Gas company contractors were later overheard discussing and dissing the work session and individual City Council members...
and big-time dissing of
Environmental Services Director, Jim Cummings.
Apparently, Councilman Giessner (At-Large Rep for Grand Prairie, TX) and Councilman Hepworth (District 1 Rep for Grand Prairie's Northern Sector) are Chesapeake's shale gas drilling contractors' new best friends. That's OK. To each his own.
Westchester-Grand Prairie Community Alliance would like to especially thank Mayor Charles England for his statements that were very supportive of the concerns of the Alliance. Thank you, Mayor England.
And sometimes...
Some politicians just don't get it. But that's what elections are for.
Interesting, this.
P.S. Chesapeake Shale gas contractors may want to know that members of the Grand Prairie community who are very informed about shale gas drilling sometimes go to Theo's. And sometimes they can't help but overhear conversations at adjacent tables. Just a few points to ponder.
*Correction: Apologies to Chesapeake Energy. We cannot confirm that the contractors were associated with Chesapeake. They were dressed very nicely and looked very professional. They certainly didn't sound very professional. So, it's good to know (from Laura Patton, Public Affairs Supervisor for the City of Grand Prairie/Chesapeake) that none of their reps were at Theo's Tuesday night. WHEW!

Very funny! I need to check out that Theo's. There aren't any drill sites near there, I hope? There's nothing more unsettling than eating a meal next door to a shale gas extraction mine. Creates indigestion.
