In Rep. Robert Hagan's press conference on June 19th, he discusses legislation that would restore cuts made to local governments and invest in the shale region's future and infrastructure.

Rep. Hagan announces the introduction of legislation to institute a severance tax on oil and natural gas that is more in-line with other major shale states.

Joining Rep. Hagan are Rep. Mike Foley, Rep. John Patterson, and Policy Matters Senior Project Director Wendy Patton.
