PA Supreme Court Won't Rehear Ruling

By Greg Russell

The Delaware County Daily Times is reporting that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court won't rehear it's earlier decision finding certain provisions of Act 13 unconstitutional:  "Pennsylvania’s highest court said Friday it would not revisit its decision striking down a state law that took zoning decisions about natural gas drilling out of the hands of local governments."  Regarding what's left:  "One question is whether parts of the law that were not invalidated can remain in force, including a tax on drillers that has generated hundreds of millions of dollars. Because a key part of the law is no longer in effect, that could affect the viability of other elements, a legal issue known as severability."
