87% Support Natural Gas Tax For Environment

A coalition of environmental, conservation, and sporting groups; municipal officials and state legislators today launched a campaign in support of a severance tax on natural gas drilling. The groups advocate that a portion of tax revenues should be dedicated to conservation, local governments dealing with environmental damage, and the Fish and Boat Commission and the Game Commission.
As part of the campaign, the group unveiled a recent statewide poll which showed that the majority of Pennsylvanians support taxing natural gas drilling, and nearly 9 out of 10 want a portion of the tax revenue used to protect Pennsylvania’s land, water, and wildlife.
