In the 2nd installment of our series on gas drilling in New York, we explore the issues that will face towns and villages when “gas culture” clashes with “upstate NY culture”. Those are the words of Elmira-based attorney Chris Denton, one of our guests today. He will be joined by the Supervisor of the Town of Preston, Pete Flanagan, and the Supervisor of the Town of Caroline, Don Barber. Plus, Jannette Barth, Ph.D, joins us. Currently the principal of J.M. Barth & Associates, Inc., Barth is the former Chief Economist for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority. With her help, we will weigh the real economic demands and benefits of gas drilling on local towns and tax payers.
