Fracking Speed Up Dead

Apparently Rep. John Bradley's proposals for speeding up the process in southern Illinois and putting moratoriums in place for central and Norther Illinois failed to win support from the business community. Not so much that business doesn't want the process sped up but representatives objected to the moratorium

Fracking

Apparently Rep. John Bradley is in a rush to get fracking going in southern Illinois, though it is interesting that he wants to put a moratorium on using the technology in northern and central Illinois.

It looks as if Bradley received just shy of $78,000 in campaign contributions from the energy industry during his 2012 campaign. Looks like a good chunk of that money was spent on hotel stays in Chicago and St. Louis, as well as jewelry and gifts. Lucky for Rep. Bradley that rules on the spending of campaign contributions at the state level are much more flexible that at the federal, since Jesse Jackson Jr. got sent to prison for similar spending.
