We call on our Kansas leaders to take action on the earthquakes and related damages that are affecting the people of South-Central Kansas. We ask that you stop the hydraulic fracturing and deep injection of wastewater until serious solutions are found that protect our water and the health & safety of the people of Kansas.
Why is this important?
We should all be enraged by the injustice of being hammered by the fracking industry and the Legislature. This Legislature has simply turned its back on the citizens of Kansas. We are experiencing living in a state where the rights, property values, and fears of citizens in the fracking zones are ignored. Why? Because you and I are not as important to the Legislature as the fracking industry.
I am one of the victims of these earthquakes. My house has $14,000 worth of damage so far! My basement floor is cracked, my foundation has slipped, my walls are cracked and it is getting worse with every new quake. I got one side of my foundation repaired but I am not repairing anything else. As long as the quakes are still happening I won't keep throwing my hard earned money at repairs though there is still much more left to fix.
The Kansas Corporation Commission has the power to fix this problem. Any comments you leave will go to straight to Commissioners Apple, Albrecht & Emler and to Governor Brownback.
