Gee imagine that. NY Gov. Cuomo is going to defer to his environmental and health experts and ban fracking (at least temporarily in my opinion) because of environmental and health concerns.
So where the hell was this cautious thinking when the industrial wind industry inundated NYS in recent years which also had proven health and environmental issues, was splitting up and ruining communities socially, and could create significant damage to some of our most precious scenic treasures??????
Not to mention the wind industry in many cases was corrupt and got so bad to the point that Cuomo had to develop a special industry specific code of ethics for wind developers.
More stupidity!!!
And talking about that, it's funny how our local govt. was led right along by their "green" noses to follow the same thinking.
Keep in mind our Cape Vincent town board under Hirschey also banned fracking. However, they too collapsed to NYS "green" pressure and were unwilling to do the obvious and BAN the insidious impacts of industrial wind development that are equal or worse.
So as we speak we have a zoning law that leaves us exposed and allows some industrial wind development, and Cuomo's Art X process still hangs over our heads to see wind developers get what they want from the town, especially since our law doesn't say NO, it actually invites them in to have a discussion about wind development in CV.
I guess once you join a govt weather it be local or higher up, a prerequisite is to check your brain at the door.

Thanks Art for exposing the Hirschey Government for what it is. With your help, we will soon be rid of them. Oswald and Chase have just put the appointments of the Hirschey suck holes to rest and we will soon be done with Hirscheyville. Please ask Dave to apply for the Faulkingham position. He will work well with Hester Chase and Oswald to get the facts straight.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Dave (I assume you mean Dave LaMora) he will make up his own mind as to whether he aspires to any position in the Cape Vincent town govt. or not.
ReplyDeleteI am glad, however, that Ms. Oswald brought some clarity to this issue regarding how appointments should be handled.
There are some officers who should not be reappointed to positions on either the PB or ZBA based on past egregious behavior.
All Oswald was concerned with was consistent procedure. She never made this about people.....just procedure. People are twisting this.
