"Dial Williston For Jobs" -- The Wall Street Journal

From the print edition, page A14, opinion page.

Under "Review & Outlook" where the WSJ editors post short opinion pieces there is a 2-column, 3-inch piece titled, "Dial Williston for Jobs," with a subtitle: "Would someone please answer if Governor Cuomo calls?"

The lede:

The North Dakota shale boom is by now well known -- so much so that the Chamber of Commerce in tiny Williston (population who knows?) in the heart of the Bakken Shale has had to automate its phone system because it can no longer respond to individual calls or emails.

Someone at the WSJ dialed 701-577-6000 on Wednesday .... to request an information package ... but got a recorded response.

The opinion pieced noted that New York "still bars hydraulic facturing in the Marcellus Shale lest they offend the Manhattan greens."

The opinion piece was a request for someone in Williston to send Governor Cuomo an information packet on the Bakken.

For all it's technology prowess, I'm surprised the folks simply didn't go to the web, or visit my site. Smile.

Anyway, I'll be cutting out the little opinion piece and posting it on the refrigerator. (By the way, I was quoted in the WSJ some years ago -- what a hoot.)
