Via Young Philly Politics:

This video is just 88 seconds and it's great. At Corbett's Marcellus Shale Advisory hearing last week, they set out two sign-up sheets for public comment. Only, they told the industry about one and the protesters about the other.

Guess which one they went to first?

In this video, a woman from Pittsburgh calmly and clearly confronts a Corbett Administration spokesperson about the trick. She comes off as smart, gutsy and reasonable. He comes off like someone who just got caught stealing an extra piece of cake at Church Camp.
