Lissa Lucas, a candidate in this year’s Democratic primary for West Virginia delegates, was escorted out of the Charleston state house because she read a list of House members and how much they pocketed from oil and gas companies.

Newsweek reported that the meeting was about a proposal, the Co-Tenancy and Majority Protection Act, or H.B. 4268, that would allow these companies to drill on “minority mineral owners’ land without their consent.”

The report said that some landowners worry that the bill will allow these companies to drill on their properties for the minerals located below.

She got tossed for revealing the payments to the representatives by the oil companies.   The bill being discussed will allow drilling on property without landowner permission.

It's a dicey issue, this "forced pooling." Some Repub legislators are for it but those with a more libertarian bent are against it.  Dems have no problem with it at all..

Lucas is running for the House of Delegates from Ritchie County:

She's a raving leftist.  That said,  nothing wrong with publicizing contributions. That information already is available at the WV secretary of state website, however.
