A group of landowners in Wyoming's Powder River Basin says state leaders refuse to help protect against harm from coalbed methane water, so they're looking downstream to Montana for help.
"We really struggled with ourselves about whether we wanted to file suit against our own governor," said Bob LeResche, a Clearmont rancher who chairs the Powder River Basin Resource Council's board. "But we decided he couldn't be any more negative toward us."
I kept wondering why Wyoming citizens weren't more up in arms about coalbed methane production but signs of intelligence are emerging. I sure am glad to see this. Standing up to protect their resources from a government that doesn't care. True democracy in action.
