Legislation already exists to regulate oil & gas drilling unfortunately, government does not enforce it. Both the U.S. and WV Constitutions guarantee property rights are never changing and need no further justification. We call for you to hold a Special Session to require enforcement of current regulations; strengthen regulations to reflect technological advancements; and, return Constitutional Property Rights to Land Owners. As a minimum, immediately proclaim Land Owners have Dominate estate. This will return some of the Constitutional Property Rights that will allow Land Owners authority to say who enters, and what can be disturbed on, their private property.
Enforce / Strengthen Regulations; and, Return Constitutional Rights
Greetings,
I just signed the following petition addressed to: Governor Tomblin, Senate President Kessler and House Speaker Thompson.
