Fascism's Contempt For The People's Property Rights - Pennsylvania Edition

"“I didn't buy this land to sell it,” said Bob Svetlak to the Trib Live newspaper group. “I bought it for peace and property, like a lot of people in this country. I live here for the tranquility.” Despite Svetlak’s protestations, though, Hilcorp is arguing that a 1961 state law allows the company to lump all the landowners into one group and earn drilling authorization if most of those owners approve of the operation. Known as “forced pooling,” the move would enable the company to earn gas and oil rights even if some owners are opposed to the idea."
