New Yorkers Rally Against Proposed Fracked Gas Pipeline
-------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters rallied at New York City Hall Thursday
evening and marched across the Brooklyn Bridge to demand a halt to the
proposed Williams pipeline project, which would carry fracked gas from
Pennsylvania's shale fields under New York Harbor. Scores of elected
officials have joined hundreds of environmental groups and tens of
thousands of petitioners in opposing the plan. Governor Andrew Cuomo has
until May 16 to halt the project.
