BP Should Get Out of Town! - Thanks Mr. MacSherry!

Have been camping in the S. Ca. desert for an extended period. A number of interesting things happened in that period in the Cape Vincent wind issue. Particularly some comments made in the WDT by town officials.

Let’s start by looking at the comments of our Planning Board Chairman Dick MacSherry.
His quote from a recent WDT article.

“Planning Board Chairman Richard H. Macsherry said the alternative plan for BP should be “getting out” of Cape Vincent entirely.”

I am glad to see Mr. Macsherry publicly cut to the chase about the real issue here, and not beating around the bush like some town officials insist on doing in the Art X process.
The only disagreement I have here is that I would say that this sentiment should not be the alternative plan…it should be THE PRIMARY PLAN!

I hope Mr. Macsherry will assert leadership and take some positive steps toward aggressively promoting this direction instead of this self defeating tail chase we are in with BP and the State in the Art X process to appear “reasonable”.

Next post will examine Councilman Clif Schneider’s confusing comments in the same WDT article.
