New York's gas ban leaves communities penniless while Pennsylvania counts its fracking cash

We're sitting here on the New York-Pennsylvania border and to my right, Chenango County, New York, to my left, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. These two communities could not be more different in terms of quality of life, crime rate, opioid deaths. Any way you look at it, Bradford County, Pennsylvania is doing way better than Chenango County, New York. What's happening here? Well, both these communities sit atop the Marcellus Shale. It's a region of natural gas that's accessible through a process called hydraulic fracking. New York banned fracking in 2014, Pennsylvania did not. What's the outcome been? Well, people in Bradford County tell us they love fracking. They said it's changed their lives, it's made millionaires overnight, it's kept seniors in their home, and the community is able to do things like provide its own rural broadband and establish a new multi-million dollar communications center. Over in New York, however, this community continues to struggle. It's a post-industrial city that really could have used the help. The lawmakers decided to ban fracking due to concerns of environmental risks like toxic chemicals that a byproduct from the process.
