Citizens hammer commissioners on Utah oil shale meeting

Say what? If you’re like me you are probably wondering what this article is about. I get the feeling the reporter wrote an article but the editor took out everything negative about the county commissioners and this was what was left.

Two citizens made public comments during said designated section of the BOCC meeting. Hardly a hammering. Sounds like Jankovsky hammered right back. So anyway, I have put in a request for clarification from one of the people present. Hope to bring you that very soon.

Now industry officials tell us that not only do we have naturally occurring methane in our water but our water is also really salty. What a crock. All I can say is don’t buy any bottled water from Alanco Energy.
