Follow the Money-Brick Road to Chesapeake Energy Way

Fresh Incoming Info From Don Young........

It wasn't enough to have bought-off elected officials and institutions eating out of their hands.

It wasn't enough to cover our billboards, buses, newspaper pages and airwaves with their propaganda.

It wasn't enough to buy and pillage our most sacred land for their dirty deeds.

With Chesapeake Energy, too much is never enough. (apologies to Mae West)

In their latest display of arrogance, to sear their filthy brand on Dirty Ol' Town (aka: Fort Worth, Texas), Chesapeake Energy has arranged to rename a public street. (see photo above) Formerly known as Pier 1 Place, the street has been re-branded as, Energy Way.

How quaint.

What strings does one have to pull at City Hall to get a street renamed, anyway?

Hmmm. Not a bad idea.

I think I'll call MaYoR MiKe tomorrow and ask to have my street renamed. Maybe something like.... Just Say NO (@#$%&*!) Way.

Maybe you will do the same.
