Note from Jeanne Simonelli:

We are happy to announce a NYS fracking ban.  Will the NY Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) now have the continued nerve to deny the
401C pipeline permit to the Constitution Pipeline, which is the first
of the northeast pipeline projects to receive federal (FERC) approval?
