Watchdog Group to Expand into Ohio
Tuesday, August 21, 2012
According to Ohio.com, a Pennsylvania-based fracking watchdog agency is coming to Ohio.
The company, FracTracker Alliance, received a two-year $130,000 grant from the George Gund Foundation. FracTracker plans on hiring a full-time staffer who will be based in the Youngstown area.

“We funded FracTracker because we felt there is a real lack of transparency and understanding about all the issues surrounding shale gas drilling,” said Caitlin Johnson, a Gund Foundation spokeswoman. “FracTracker is an unbiased source of information, data and analysis. A tool like this is sorely needed as the debate around hydraulic fracturing is all too often defined by ideology instead of facts.”
