Local politicians urged New York state Thursday night not to impose, in the words of Sen. George H. Winner Jr., R-Elmira, "unreasonable, unfair regulations" on natural gas drilling that could drive away a potential economic stimulus in the Southern Tier.
But several residents at a public hearing expressed concerns about drilling's effect on water tables.
"Many of us rely on individual drinking wells for our water," said Robin De Lill-Stroman of Chemung.
The differing views concerned a draft scope for an environmental impact statement about natural gas drilling in New York.
