CHARLESTON -
The West Virginia Senate voted Friday to adopt a resolution
encouraging corporations who will be involved in developing West
Virginia's vast natural gas resources to adopt the
so-called "Marcellus Principles" as they move forward in their development.
The Marcellus Principles are a set of guidelines that are
designed to help the state and citizens of West Virginia
benefit most from the development of the Marcellus Shale gas resources. In
particular, the principles focus on making sure that jobs generated from the drilling
go to West Virginians rather than workers from other
states.
‘The Marcellus Principles were created because we observes
many of the jobs related to Marcellus Shale development going to workers
imported from out of state," said Dave Efaw, Secretary-Treasurer of the WV
State Building and Construction Trades Council. "Paychecks earned by local
workers stay in West Virginia and
benefit our communities – paychecks to imported workers get sent back home to Texas
or Louisiana."
Senate Resolution 12, which endorses the Marcellus
Principles, was sponsored by 33 of West Virginia's
34 Senators. Similar resolutions have been passed in several cities and
counties across the northern part of the state.
