Thank you for this question. Before answer the tax portion, it’s important to note that according to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, 7/10 workers employed in the natural gas industry are Pennsylvania residents.
As for taxes, the natural gas industry has generated more than $1.7 billion in state revenue since 2006 in Pennsylvania, and the recently enacted natural gas impact fee has generated $400 million for various programs, with the majority of this new funding going to local communities.
