Fracking rears its head at wine and beer summit; state streamlines compliance, invests in marketing

The Independent Oil and Gas Association has used today's New York Wine, Beer and Spirits Summit to press the Cuomo administration for an energy industry summit. Brad Gill, Executive Director of IOGA wrote to the governor: On behalf of the more than 400 members of the Independent Oil & Gas Association of New York, as well as the thousands of professionals who work in and with our industry, we ask you to convene a natural gas and oil development summit. I believe that a summit to hear ideas from industry leaders, large natural gas users and other stakeholders will help ensure that the natural gas industry continues to grow and create jobs in New York.
