Reports from Bloomberg News (not Mayor Bloomberg although he has come out in favor of drilling in New York counties – Steuben, Chemung, Broome, Chenango and Tioga) and the Wall Street Journal indicate that Governor Cuomo lift the moratorium on drilling in the next few weeks.

Rumors from the PIOGA Expo are that the ban could be lifted between Labor Day and the Democratic Convention a time when it may not get much attention in the news.
