Dear Editor:

My letter has to do with the Marcellus gas shale drilling. I do know we all need jobs and the situation with the economy and all. But who is it getting these jobs when we see the license plates as such coming from Texas and Louisiana and the such to do the work? And work out West Virginia’s natural resources and go back home and live higher? And West Virginia is left with the destruction and waste products of their labor? And then when the boom is over, our state economy will collapse anyways. Who will prosper? Who will pay? What will West Virginia be?
