Proving Once Again That They're Actually Whores

The Republican majority on the North Carolina Senate Committee on Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources voted to allow fracking gas companies operating in North Carolina to keep the list of chemicals they'll be injecting into wells a deep, dark secret. How can any neighbor of a fracking well know what's going into the water table under this rule?

Does that make any sense other than the sweaty need to please the corporate powers who've bought our state government? Down on your knees, bitches!
