Summit Daily NewsPosted: October 8th, 2008 by Thomas L. Knapp
“Congressional investigators are looking at the government’s quick — and legal — approvals for oil and gas drilling in an investigation called long overdue by environmental groups. Industry executives condemn it as political. Two Government Accountability Office investigators are in Utah as part of a probe into the Bureau of Land Management’s practice of approving some drilling projects without a full environmental study of the consequences.” (10/07/08)
