Another reporter sees through "The Naked Guv"
I would say that great minds think alike, but I shouldn't really elevate myself to the level of Donald Gilliland of the Patriot-News in Harrisburg, who did an awesome job in ripping apart the Tom Corbett radioactive water press conference I told you about yesterday. He goes on to make some great points about the radioactivity that Corbett's so concerned about (harmless dispersed fallout from Japan) and the kind he apparently could care less about, from his fracking billionaire natural-gas campaign donors:
After the Times report, former DEP Secretary John Hanger called for the immediate testing of public water supplies in Pennsylvania. Hanger said he thought the volume of water in the rivers would have quickly diluted the radioactivity to safe levels, but testing would be the only way to be sure drinking water was safe. The DEP did release the results of water-quality monitoring in seven streams around the state that showed Radium-226 levels at or below normal. There was no gubernatorial news conference. Several water companies announced they were doing it voluntarily. When asked about the disparity on Monday, Corbett said, “I’m not here to address Marcellus, sorry.”
Corbett, however, remained silent.
One month after the Times report, the state has yet to report any order for public drinking water systems to test for Radium-226 — or any results.
Check out the whole thing.

The Governor has been in office only six weeks give him a break, moreover what does Japan radiation have to do with PA? Let the Governor work on the budget and how you do some real reporting on real issues instead this political hack reporting, it's unbecoming— Speak-truth-2-power- Who are you freaks? Now you are complaining that there's too little radiation in our waterways. Aquatic ecosystems are suffering far greater damage from the prevalence of birth control hormones than they are from frack waste. Hormones brought to us by the leftist slattern-industrial-complex. Just pipe down and wait for your next instructions for dishonest reporting.— Mr. Smith

- Will's had more posts on Corbett in one month than on Rendell in eight years. Try not to be so transparently partisan, Will.— General Turgidson
- And I thought someone might address the issue brought up in the article instead of pretending that because a paid for governor decides not to address a problem, no problem exists. Will is a dishonest reporter, Will is partisan but no mention of radioactivity is Pennsylvania's waterways. Not by a bad governor, not by partisan hacks pretending to be citizens.— BigDaddy3150
- Testing showed Radium-226 levels at or below normal. I think the key word is NORMAL. So there is no problem. Bone up on the reading comprehension.

So what's your problem "panties in a bunch", as Chris Stigall on WPHT calls you? Testing showed no problems.
- The state is broke and Corbett won't tax the gas companies like every other state? Are you people blind or on drugs? He is bought and paid off by those companies. Anywhere else it would be a crime.— lia
- Typical drone leftist Corbett line. Assuming a tax was immediately imposed and collected, it would be approximately 250 million. 4.0 billion - 250 million = 3.75 billion defecit. Ok, genius, what next to cut? By the way, wasn't Rendell the guy who left this mess? Kind of like how Bush left a mess for Obama?
- There is something seriously wrong with Corbette's brain power. One needs to start looking for early signs of mental disability. Good thing, he will not ask for money from state to treat his mental disease...sorry... forgot that he was taking advantage of state health insurance.— Seed
- Your ad-hominems are weak and childish. Stick with commenting on the Eagles. Go back to the sports page.
