Hey Southwestern Energy. Won't talk to the media. Won't talk to the citizens of this state. What are you hiding? Keep at them Channel 16! You are doing a great job!

Smart guy, I only have one well on a property I own, and it helped with my early retirement at the age of 52. Nothing like mailbox money.

As long as this states elected officals that live or own property in these areas are making money from the gas industry nothing will change. I know one state rep. from that area who not only has multiple wells on his proerty, he owns a waste water dump (giant sludge pit) in Faulkner County.
