"Supervisor Hirschey reported that they had conducted a joint workshop with the planning board and zoning board that focused on Article X discussions about what the boards can do to protect our citizens during British Petroleum's attempt to site their industrial wind project in the town."
Would be very interesting to hear what they came up with. Perhaps handing out hard hats to CV citizens when the BP construction crews arrive?? Or can we expect a Cold War Civil Defense type pamphlet from the boards instructing us what to do?
I noticed that during the Oct. 23rd evening meeting with BP that the Village Fire Dept siren went off. Was that a warning test that BP was in town and to take cover????
This was just a test. Had this been a real emergency you would have been instructed to close your curtains to protect you from the shadow flicker from BP's turbines!!!
If you are my age and a kid of the Cold War days of the 50's and 60's , remember "Duck and Cover" where you would have an air raid drill at school and duck under your desk for protection? When BP and Art X arrive maybe we could wait for the Village siren to go off and then duck under our desks! That had to be a government program that would come up with a scheme to think a school desk would protect you from a thermo - nuclear weapon that could vaporize a city in a milli-second. Like humorist Dave Berry said, maybe we should have stopped spending billions on missile defense and just covered the nation with school desks!!!
Now we have a zoning law we are supposed to "duck under" to protect ourselves from the overwhelming rigged power in Albany that is about to vaporize us and our law and our comp plan!
No wait ... I have an idea.
How about we not hand over our zoning law and our community to be negotiated by a rigged third party political system heavily influence by BP, and a Siting Board stacked to carry out Cuomo's green agenda!!!
WOW!!! There's a thought!!!
You know...like if you don't want your house robbed, don't leave the door open or doors unlocked, or invite the burglar to come right on in, or negotiate with the buglar on what he can take!!!
Too funny!! Too bad it's true. I hope the board finally wakes up, and fights the Article 10 process. Somehow I don't think that will happen in time, though. Our town board worked so hard on the wind law that they can't see that the process is flawed. Yeah, Pundt, I'm a kid of the 50's. We practiced the Duck and Cover drill so much that we actually fell under the dilusion that our little school desk would protect us.
ReplyDeleteIs this for real? Are you guys just pulling our legs? Are you telling me that my school desk would not have protected me during a missile strike? Holy Christ, I'm going to have to get some counseling to deal with this misconception I've lived with for 50 + years. Talk about false security!
ReplyDeleteSo does that mean that the town cannot protect us by defending our zoning law against cuomo's Art. X siting board? Say it ain't so!
Jesus, the next thing you'll be telling me there's no Santa Clause.
Talk to CV zoning committee members Bob Brown and Clif Schneider. I think they are the Santa Cluase you are looking for.
