@silence7 why?
Reading says, oil workers unions, they declined to comment.
So I’d guess they were all mah jerbs! On it.
Also this: Chris Hannan, the trades council’s president, said union members feared SB 222 would have a “chilling effect on our economy, setting gas prices through the roof, with absolutely no environmental benefits.”
Wow. Wonderful, no environmental benefits? Honestly? Sure, let the oil companies continue r*ping the planet with no limits. Perfect.
Probably have hefty contracts building oil rigs or some shit like that.
Yeah - what?!
@homesweethomeMrL I mean, why would a union do that?
I mean that too :D
