First thank you LTC Oeschger for your service and the sacrifices your family makes as well for your service.
Judge Agresta,
It's refreshing to hear in your signature block that you work for the people. My name is LTC Mike Oeschger, Commander 3-6 FAR out of Fort Drum NY and I am a property owner in Cape Vincent and will retire and begin a business in this community when my service is complete with the US Army. I am currently stationed in Afghanistan while my wife and son remain in Cape Vincent improving our property and participating in the community.
As a relative newcomer to the area I find myself wondering why the decision to have wind turbines built in the community has been taken out of the community¿s hands. If this is indeed the case I find it abhorrent and in the strongest possible terms would like to offer my protest at this action which I believe falls under Title X. (Art X).
Regardless of how I feel about the proposed BP construction (I am against it by the way) I feel my community is being railroaded by the state and the decision has been taken out of the hands of the people who should make it. Having worked governance and reconstruction issues in a number of countries where we (US) have always advocated for rule of law and democratic principles it would appear that we as a State are disregarding these principles in our very own country.
I appreciate your service to our nation and our community and have the upmost respect for the duties of your office. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
LTC Michael T Oeschger
Commander 3-6 FAR

LTC Oeschger seems to get the real point of all Cuomo's Art. X crap along with the NYS Legislature that has removed our most basic American community rights. The very rights he and others like him have risked their lives to protect for generations. It is perfectly understandable with his experience with democratic efforts around world that this would be abhorrent, as he says, right here in our own country, and state. I couldn't agree more! And I would add for nothing more than the profit interests of large corporations at the cost of our basic rights. Many of them FOREIGN!!!
To bad our town officers, some who have served in the military, and the people who support them don't find this as abhorrent and disgusting as Mr. Oeschger does, and as I do as they patronize and appease the very system that stripped those rights away. That too is disgusting! To bad while LTC Oeschger and people like him risk their lives for those rights and against tyrannies like this one that has surfaced right in our own State and communities that they aren't willing right here in the safety of our own community and region to really put something at risk to fight this abhorrent removal of our rights by Cuomo's Art. X rather than safely play along with it like victims and pawns.
But no...let's not fight back, let's just sacrifice or compromise our community so we look safe, reasonable, and respectable, to all those politicians down in Albany who had no problem within our own democratic country just stripping our community rights away.
Oh yes and never forget that BP the company that wants to destroy our community with an industrial wind disaster, lobbied in 2010 for the release of a terrorist that bombed Pan Am flight 103 and killed numerous Americans and Syracuse Univ. students all to enhance the possibility for BP to get $900 million in lucrative oil drilling contracts in Libya .
Yet Cuomo and his cronies are passing legislation taking away basic American rights to assist companies like this to do business in NYS! Yet many in our town govt and town just sit back and play along and appease this disaster. I wonder how LTC Oeschger would feel about that?
It disgusts me!
Andy says New York State is open for business!!!
Now come on Cape Vincent...I like home rule too, but let's be reasonable!!!!
So far you have played along like nice boys and girls!!!
