Contrary to what the O&G industry would have us believe, the BG Community Bill Of Rights Charter Amendment will only affect the businesses it was designed to prohibit - those trying to introduce new oil and gas (O&G) activity. Responsible businesses will not object.
The message that a democratizing action such as a Charter Amendment will threaten business is disinformation that has been popularly used as a tactic by the O&G interests during similar campaigns to cast doubt and shroud the issue. Representatives from such interest groups have already appeared in BG. They have both spoken to city officials and have been quoted in the media.
