Pa. To Distribute $200M From Gas Drilling Fees



Pennsylvania state agencies and local governments in places where drilling for natural gas is occurring learned Monday how much money they will get out from a fund that has already collected more than $200 million in "impact fees" from drillers.
 
All 67 counties get a share of the money, as do the Fish and Boat Commission, the Transportation Department, the Department of Environmental Protection and other state agencies. But Governor Tom Corbett says 60 percent of the $204.2 million fund will go to local governments where drilling occurs.
 
 
State law restricts how the money can be spent, allowing for such uses as fixing roads and building or repairing water and sewer infrastructure.
