Thank you Calvin Tillman and the Residents of Dish

Many thanks go out to Mayor Tillman and the residents of Dish for sharing their plight with all of us. They spent their own money to test the air quality because the gas companies and the state wouldn't.

Dish has been complaining for a very long time about the smell and the health of their citizens. Of course the gas companies said it was just the odorant they were smelling.

The results of the study showed levels of toxic chemicals that exceeded state levels.

This has shamed the TCEQ into conducting air quality tests throughout the Barnett Shale area.
