Bay News - Blah, Blah, Blah

The news around the bay was boring and redundant today.  The press release that you're supposed to be afraid of fracking seems to have gotten around today:

• ‘Getting to the Bottom' of Marcellus Shale Drilling -Public News Service
• Groups petition government for gas impact study -The Towanda (Pa.) Daily Review
• Group Wants EPA to Eye Gas Drilling -The Intelligencer/Wheeling News-Register
• Fracking in Maryland: Chesapeake Bay Foundation Petitions White House -The Baltimore Examiner

 You're supposed to be pissed that the Congress is considering not funding some of the Bay initiatives: 

• 2 former Md. Govs., GOP Rep. oppose EPA bay rider - The Associated Press
• Commentary: Funding cut would halt bay initiative - The Roanoke (Va.) Times
