Town of Otsego bans fracking

According to a post by Adrian Kuzminski of Sustainable Otsego and the Daily Star, the town of Otsego decided on Wednesday to ban hydraulic fracking within its borders. From a post on the Sustainable Otsego website:

It is the first rural town in New York State to explicitly invoke its home rule authority to block gas drilling as a type of undesirable heavy industry incompatible with the town's comprehensive plan. The town acted in response to the overwhelming sentiment of the enrolled voters in the town opposed to gas drilling and heavy industry, documented through petitions and surveys as well as testimony at privilege of the floor and at a public hearing.
