"The pleasant surprise of the month is that the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) cancelled their upcoming vote—scheduled for Monday, November 21—for whether or not to allow fracking in the Delaware River Basin, a source of drinking water for 15 million people. It’s possible that the commission was nervous; they just weren’t ready to host thousands of demonstrators about to converge on Trenton’s courthouse. How big a deal is a cancelled vote? It means the members of the commission are listening!

"On Thursday, Delaware Governor Jack Markell said that his state would vote against allowing fracking in the region, which prompted the DRBC to cancel their vote, as they no longer have three out of five “yes” votes from members of the commission. This is the second time that the DRBC has delayed their course of action. They initially scheduled their vote for October 21, but pushed it back to November 21."
