Letter: Season's Greetings from Pennsyltucky Former Barnetts Creek, Adair County, Resident reports in after fulfilling his freshman year as an official senior citizen Click on headline for complete story By Jackson Brower Hi Ed, I'm still alive, having survived twelve months of my first year of being an official senior citizen. I'm feeling well despite a full-blown case of writer's block that lasted six months, but I'm finally starting to snap out of it. I'm still working for the "fracking" company, as my friend calls it. It is going well, and business is good, however, Pennsylvania just voted in a new governor, Tom "tax the frackers" Wolf, who wants to put a big severence tax on oil and gas drilling companies to help subsidize public education. The former governor, Tom Corbett, was a friend of oil and gas, and helped to keep the economic boom going on in the Marcellus Shale area of Pennsylvania, which has created lots of jobs and opportunities. Corbett, a Republican, did well in Pennsyltucky, but got blasted in Philly and the Burgh, much like McCain in '08. A former colleague, who used to work for Atlas and started his own drilling company is worried that Wolf's severence tax might put his and other small drilling companies out of business. For one thing, it will definitely raise everyone's utility bills here. On a lighter side, we Pittsburghers are pretty happy...the Steelers finally beat a winning team, the Bungals (I mean the Bengals), and there is still hope to make the playoffs! Hey, I shouldn't say that, I was a fair-weather Bengals fan when I lived in Adair County, and Boomer was the quarterback. We were also happy the Pirates were a MLB playoff team for one game. There's no shame in getting your butt kicked by Bumgarner, the best pitcher in baseball, who went on to win the World Series for the Giants! Season's greetings to my friends in Adair County, the jewel of South-Central Kentucky! I'm sending several accompanying pics under separate cover. Peace, EW! --Jackson Brower This story was posted on 2014-12-09 07:38:18
