Doddridge County Meeting on Forced Pooling

There was a meeting in Doddridge County last night where residents were able to express their opinions about forced pooling to a couple of state legislators, Woody Ireland and Mike Romano.  Woody Ireland is a proponent of forced pooling in the House of Delegates, and Mike Romano is a Senator who voted against it.

The article over at WBOY.com is short, but it’s important because it shows that the forced pooling agenda is still being pushed forward.  We oppose forced pooling on principle.  It’s not right to take a landowner’s property away from them and give it to another person or a corporation.  Other provisions of the bill were good, and we would like to see them passed, but forced pooling should not be the law.
