History

[edit | edit source]

As of August 2012, 180 artists were part of the group, which opposes natural gas drilling in the Marcellus shale.[6]

In March 2013, the Independent Oil & Gas Association of New York filed a complaint with the New York Lobbying Board claiming the group had violated lobbying regulations,[7] following an Associated Press news story suggesting that they should formally register as a lobbying group and had not done so.[8] Hydraulic fracking is prohibited in New York state.[9]
