Pro-Fracker Calls Opponents "Professional Protestors"

We have further comment Wednesday night from the pro-drilling front. 

Wayne Colley, who is the vice president of the Central New York Landowners Coalition calls anti-fracking demonstrators, "professional
protestors." 

Colley says there is a lot of money coming out of private foundations, supporting a handful of people opposed to economic development.

"... and they get the ear, because they have the money and the resources, and they can be more visable, because they don't have jobs, and most of the people in our coalition are hard working and farmers and have jobs and can't be as visable as the people who don't have jobs,"  said Colley.
 
Colley also says that science, and not Governor Cuomo's presidential ambitions should dictate whether fracking will be allowed.
