Why isn't Pennsylvania doing more about pollution from drilling Natural Gas with fracking method?

Why are they letting the Natural Gas companies take over the state? They are issuing more permits for drilling of new wells? Why? And why will they not tax these companies that are polluting the water and going to be killing us? Why?

    The water in the North East section of Pa was just as effected with gas BEFORE the drilling as it is now. This is a ploy for those who live up there to get money from their neighbors who have lots of land. Well these people did not pay their property taxes for all these years did they? t is not their land or gas.
