Rush Passes Fracking Ban

The Town Board in Rush has voted unanimously in favor of establishing a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing for natural gas.

The group Rush Citizens Concerned About Hydrofracking has been pushing for the moratorium for several months. The board passed the one year ban at its meeting Wednesday night.

Rush joins Brighton and Mendon in Monroe County as municipalities to pass such a measure.
