What Should Highland Heights Do About Gas Well Lease?

Council is scheduled to vote at Tuesday's meeting.

After years of debate and negotiations, City Council is scheduled to vote Tuesday night on a proposed lease for two gas wells in the city's park.

The agreement would settle a $7 million breach of contract lawsuit filed by Bass Energy in 2008.

At recent meetings, many residents spoke out against having gas wells in the park and a few urged council to sign the lease, arguing that the wells are safe and that the city can't afford to lose the lawsuit.

So we're giving a chance for those who haven't attended the meetings to speak their mind in the form of a poll. Recognizing there are different reasons to support or oppose the proposed lease, the poll covers two common viewpoints on each side of the issue.

If you're viewpoint isn't covered or if you have something else to say, feel free to leave a comment.
