I lost a windshield coming out of the cemetary in Westhoff....so I was negatively affected.

if someone was smart they'd open up a nice men's club in this area. then just sit back and rake in the cash

I have experienced some economic benefits; whether or not they were economical is another story.

Ha ! as if voting no will scare the drillers and pipeline workers AWAY ! Take a Xanax ! I too, interpeted the question to be asked of me personally benefiting from the boom. Well, unless being forced onto the roads shoulder by oil field tractor rigs that pass me going up hills or pull out into traffic without yielding the right of way as I drive between Cuero and Kenedy. No I have not been affected personally by the Eagle Ford Shale development.

WOW Scorpio, I must have really pushed a button with you, evidenced by your shouting in all caps. To answer your question I do not have family working on the shake, I took the question as did "I" have any economical benefits for the shale. So "I" answered how "I" am impacted. I apologize if this "I" answer upset you. I am fully aware of the impact of the community economically, and am very grateful that Victoria is coming out of the economical slump it was in.

I agree with scorpio!

HELLO ITS CALLED JOBS! REVENUE FOR THE TOWNS BECAUSE OF THE WORKERS SHOPING AND BUYING IN THESE TOWNS. ALL THE BUSINESSES ARE GETTING MONEY FROM THEM. IT HAS BROUGHT LIFE TO TOWNS THAT WERE DIEING! REALLY ALL OF YOU WHO VOTED NO CAN HONESTLY SAY YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY ECONOMICAL GAIN FROM THE SHALE. YOUR NOT LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE YOUR LOOKING AT YOUR POCKET. I BET YOU HAVE FAMILY WORKING ON THAT SHALE! WANT THEM IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINES AGAIN. KEEP VOTING NO!

only a select few are benefiting, The rest of us are struggling in our own way
