Pat McGeehan is a member of West Virginia’s House of Delegates.  He was also an opponent of HB 2688, the Forced Pooling bill.  It’s very likely that the bill is going to be coming back up this fall, and in preparation Mr. McGeehan has written an excellent editorial on why the Forced Pooling bill is a bad idea.  I’m not going to summarize it.  It’s worth reading the whole thing.
