Presentation on fracking in Muskegon County produces controversy, opposition | MLive.com
More than 50 people, many apparently opposed to the idea of fracking on the county’s 11,000-acre wastewater site to extract natural gas and oil, created a standing-room-only audience for the initial meeting on the issue.
Some became vocally upset, including one yelling out, "shameful" when they learned that no public comment would be accepted during the special Board of Public Works meeting.
Public Works Board Chairman Marvin Engle, who called for a sheriff’s deputy to be in the board room, said the special meeting was held so the public could also hear the planned presentation on the topic rather than conduct it during a work session, because it “seems to be a sensitive” issue.
Several commissioners said the meeting was strictly held for informational purposes.
