In favor of greater disclosure of fracking materials
 

I am in favor of greater transparency and the full disclosure of the ingredients used in hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking.  Fracking has the potential to affect the quality of our water supply and the health of our residents.  Horizontal hydro fracturing is a fairly new method and it has the potential to negatively impact an exponentially greater area.  As such, greater precautions and oversight is required.
