The natural gas industry made Joe Todd an offer he couldn’t refuse. He told them no, but New York State’s industry-drafted 2005 “compulsory integration” law made resistance pointless. Todd had turned away a landman who tried last year to convince him to lease his property to a Denver-based gas driller. Then he received an official letter in January that said he had to surrender his subterranean property rights for a financial stake in the same Colorado driller’s new well operation less than a mile from his home in Big Flats, N.Y. He ripped up the letter and threw it in the trash. The drilling started up anyway. added by: DCBureau
