Public concern about natural-gas drilling was expressed at two forums today: the county Board of Representatives' monthly meeting on upper Main Street, and a forum this evening at Oneonta High School.
But the county board made no move to either study the moratorium idea or to act on it.
Some 30 people attended the morning meeting; 300 were at the evening one.
In the morning, Don Barber, Democratic candidate for the 51st state Senate District, spoke in favor of a moratorium.
In the evening, incumbent Jim Seward, R-Milford, who has declined to support a moratorium, vowed the process going forward will be fully in the public eye.
For a full report, read this week's Freeman's Journal, on the newsstands in downtown Cooperstown by noon Thursday.
