New Yorkers over the shale deposits want to split with anti energy governor

NY Post:
When Americans hear “secession,” the image that comes to mind is a Confederate flag. But New York these days has its own southern rebellion.

The Southern Tier, that is. The terrible economic conditions upstate have led 15 towns along the Pennsylvania border to explore splitting off from New York and becoming part of the Keystone State.

The reason?

Gov. Cuomo’s ban on fracking, which prevents them from tapping into the natural gas of the Marcellus Shale that is bringing jobs and opportunity to neighboring Pennsylvania.

In Bradford County, for example, revenue from natural gas has allowed the county to retire a $5 million debt and lower property taxes by 6 percent.

“The Southern Tier is desolate. We have no jobs and no income,” Conklin Town Supervisor Jim Finch told a Binghamton TV station. “The richest resource we have is in the ground.”

Thanks to Gov. Cuomo, it’s going to stay there.

This demonstrates the ant energy let's war on the middle class.  They hate fossil fuels and the jobs it creates.  They would rather people people poor to keep the fuel in the ground.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
