Air pollution in DISH

We published a story Saturday about air pollution in the tiny town of DISH (population 200). This is not the

first time that folks in DISH have raised a ruckus about the natural gas and pipeline industry.

The town sits at the intersection of several major natural gas pipelines and residents have complained that so much of their land is being taken for pipelines that the town may not get to develop much of its surface.

Mayor Calvin Tillman has pushed the state legislature to give towns more control over pipeline routes and he's kept up the pressure by writing letters to gas companies and even testing for gas himself.

This may be a place to watch as the debate over air pollution, pipelines and natural gas continues.
