Top Wyo Official says Pavillion fracking investigation motivated by greed by Dustin Bleizeffer, June 7, 2012, wyofile.com
Pavillion area resident John Fenton said Doll’s earlier comments in Vancouver “show a complete lack of integrity on his part.” Fenton said that while Doll and other state officials seem focused on protecting the oil and gas industry, there are dozens of Wyoming residents fighting for their livelihoods, their homes, and added, “we’re fighting for our lives.” “He only cares for industry. He’s not there working for the people of Wyoming. … To keep him as administrator of the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission would be a great disservice to the people of Wyoming,” Fenton said. Doll was appointed Oil and Gas Commission supervisor in March 2009 by then Gov. Dave Freudenthal, with a beginning annual salary of $140,400. Prior to taking the position, Doll had served as manager for Williams Production Co., overseeing the company’s coal-bed methane gas operations in the Powder River Basin from 1997 to 2008.
