Frack Acton's press conference outside New York Governor David Paterson's New York City office on December 13th, 2010. Paterson signed an Executive Order creating a moratorium on horizontal hydraulic fracturing, making New York the first state to impose any kind of timeout on fracking. However, Paterson created a loophole for vertical fracking wells. At this event, Mark Ruffalo joined NY State Senator Liz Krueger and Dimock, PA residents Craig and Julie Sautner in celebrating the moratorium, but calling for the "Paterson Loophole" to be closed immediately, and vertical drilling to also be stopped.
