I encourage everyone to contact the NYS assembly members in your area ( call-write-email-harass-) Tell them NOT to pass this job-killing moratorium that flew by in NYS senate. How many more jobs is NYS politicians keeping away from those unemployed folks? The comical part of this sad story is- it takes NYS 3hrs to watch 60 min! How in hell are they going to study MORE enviromental issues in 10 months? They have had years to check the facts! With this failing economy, high taxes, no cuts… Continue

A 20% increase? In Chemung County NY? Hah! Airport is booming, hotels, restaurants, folks are spending money. In the Star Gazette (4/15/10) they failed to mention OR even suggest the fact of those "gas well company's" setting up shop here in Horseheads are responsible for it! The folks they employ, houses they purchase, the money they spend. Now as you all are aware of- NYS is BROKE. Being the "blue" state we are, NYC has spent every dime.. Little old chemung county…

I brought a lady to a gas well last saturday in PA. She informed me that in seneca county (geneva area) they were fighting the development of natural gas. They DIDNT WANT ANYONE fracking with there water! Being in the business kinda-sorta, I needed to drop off a part in PA- so I invited her to come with me. I showed her the (alleged)"bad congestion of trucks", the "bad" traffic, and the horrible lanscape it left. She was VERY surprised at what she saw. The traffic was light on 14 south to troy… Continue

I have been to many meetings concerning companies trying to do business in NYS. This man, (hang) has popped up with his data, telling tax payers and communities that this industry is a "bad" idea and will contaminate water, even cause cancer in some cases. He shows his "hotspots" of contamination, then the fear is on! He has costed villages and taxpayers money to check on his "data". Most is bogus! Why is this happening? I realize there IS freedom of speech here in this nation, but- to…
