1. Duh....Why don't the drillers hire them?

Or why don't the drillers pay a tax to improve the reservations? Some of those profits can go to infrastructure!



BTW, I live in a drillers' paradise (PA). Instead of hiring our many unemployed, the gas companies bring in workers from out-of-state and board them in rental houses and motels. Meanwhile our state was 49th in job creation recently while our dumbass governor gives the gas companies all kinds of tax breaks.
