In regard to recent reports on the City Council’s deliberation over a citizen committee on oil and gas, I would like to clear up some possible confusion.
West Texas Accountability Project — Lubbock Chapter is made up of local concerned citizens. We are a citizen advocacy group whose immediate goals, in light of the potential for an oil and gas boom in our area, are:
■ Protecting area water quality and availability.
■ Protecting public health and safety.
■ Maintaining quality of life.
■ Protecting property values and rights.
