Arlington's gas well ordinance is being revised. Important revisions like always requiring a supermajority vote of 7 for setback waivers have been removed because industry does not approve of them. Please attend and ask city council to put that amendment back in. From January to June of last year close to a thousand Arlington residents asked city council at multiple hearings to not allow setback waivers to drill less than 600 feet from homes. They did not hear us then, and they are certainly not listening to us now.
