Issues: Oil and Gas
As promised I have worked across the aisle to craft legislation (House Bill 426) to address oil and gas drilling in High Density residential areas through increased setback provisions (moving from 450 feet to 1,000 feet). I do support domestic oil and gas exploration in order to obtain energy independence. We must be mindful to protect owner's property rights regarding the leasing of minerals below the surface.
