WFAA-TV reported on a story covering the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth’s lawsuit against Chesapeake Energy. Committees representing the cities, which own the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, believe that Chesapeake Energy shorted the airport several million dollars.

A short time ago, it was predicted that drilling for natural gas on the airport property would bolster growth for well into the next century. However, the city is now claiming that Chesapeake Energy has stopped all drilling prematurely and has also ignored its financial obligations.
