Good video of PA. Attorney General candidate Patrick Murphy promises to send environmental criminals to jail. Too often, if they are caught, the fines are just considered the price of doing business.

He said there are 3,300 cases of known environmental crimes involving the gas industry in PA. over the past 5 years. No one has gone to jail.

Worth a click.

It's time for PA's voters to tell him to step up or step aside. Put his money where his mouth is. We're tired of seeing 'slap on the wrist' responses out of people in power. They're all in the pockets of the megacriminals.
