As the February 27th deadline approaches for the state DEC to release its fracking regulations, pro-frackers rally in Binghamton.

Local politicians and labor leaders gathered a crowd at Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 119 Thursday to speak about the need for fracking jobs in New York.

State Senator Tom Libous encouraged everyone to call or email the governor to spread the message.

Senator Libous predicts the DEC will tell the governor that fracking can be done in an environmentally safe way.
