The vote that was scheduled to take place on proposed gas drilling in the Delaware River Valley has been postponed.
The Delaware River Basin Commission postponed the meeting after Delaware's governor announced he would vote no. The commission said it delayed the meeting to give commissioners more time to review the issue but more likely is the fact they probably did not have the votes to move the proposal forward.
Following on the heels of the Obama Administrations delay on the Keystone XL pipeline, this postponement represents another victory for environmentalists who had gathered more than 73,000 signatures on a petition opposing drilling in the watershed.
