Cayuta Hotel Owner Frank Maines says:

"As I read the hysterical letters about natural gas from the tiny handful of folks I previously described as “tree-huggers,” I begin to wonder: Will my water breathe fire? Will earthquakes occur as in Texas? Will the devil demons inhabit the Finger Lakes as the backyard movie-makers suggest? As they beg for donations for their futile cause, and after intense deliberation, I have made my decision. I am one of the silent majority who will welcome the gas companies and their money to this financially depressed area. Natural gas is our present and future. It’s time to stop the time wasting effort on protests and start the welcoming committee. If you few folks who seem to show up everywhere protesting everything are still looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon, I believe they are putting another Walmart up the road from Cayuta, so go protest that some more and leave our livelihood out of it."
