Banning "Fracking" in New York State
Submitted by aminatavii on Sat, 03/27/2010 - 8:58am. Threats to the CatskillsAm I naive but can the people of New York State ban "fracking" in the State? Can we issue cease and desist orders for any such operations existing in the State? Or is it because they approach individual home owners who need the money that they agree to let them drill on their "property"? We should do everything in our power to discontinue or prevent the use of this process.
A simple thing to do

NYRI touts economic benefits of power line
Submitted by Master Admin on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 2:35pm. Threats to the CatskillsIn an effort to convince hostile communities of its apparent benefits, the huge power line proposed for our region says it will pay some $37.2 million in property taxes.
New York Regional Interconnect recently sent a letter to counties, municipalities and school districts along its 190-mile route outlining the estimated millions in taxes and lower electric rates its says the 10-story-tall power lines would bring.
The eight counties that would be sliced by NYRI all oppose the power line.
But while NYRI touts property tax benefits, opponents have said the line would actually lower land values. NYRI has also asked the federal government for reimbursement for construction costs, which would be passed to ratepayers.

A brook trout.
It's Fathers Day weekend, and I've decided to fish for our local char, salvelinus fontinalis, or brook trout. There's still some water, although now private, that has an exceptionally healthy population of wild brook trout roaming about it. That's where my internal GPS wants me to go.
