THE DEC AND THE APOLLO ALLIANCE "CLIMATE", JOBS AND JUSTICE:

Jefferson's Leaning Left gives us a Birds Eye View into the New York State Department of Conservation Killing Fields .
~~~
I am not into conspiracy theories ,but massive corruption has crossed my mind.
In more than one NYPA press release announcing Kessels GLOW offshore wind project it has included the following statement ~ NYPA is supported by wind power proponents including the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.~~~
I find it disturbing in light of the fact that Mr. Grannis represents the DEC , that the DEC is a proponent of wind ( what ever that means) that they have named them selves lead agency in the Galloo Island project setting a precedence.

POSSIBLE PRECEDENT: Agency, in ruling, names itself as lead on Galloo Island SEQR

The state Department of Environmental Conservation has declared itself the lead agency for a state environmental quality review of the proposed Galloo Island Wind Project — a ruling that may set a precedent of state review of future turbine projects.

The ruling by DEC Commissioner Alexander B. "Pete" Grannis on Friday afternoon is the first time the state has stepped in to perform a SEQR for a wind project. In the only other case where the commissioner made the lead agency determination, the Steuben County Industrial Development Agency was awarded lead agency status.

Now the subject of the Working families party ,and how this party is not a party and has nothing to do with working families either.

In a post earlier today ( Is the Party over for Darrel Aubertine? ) (This post explains the association between the WFP and the radical socialist organization the Apollo Alliance)
I mentioned Jefferson's Leaning Left and Darrel Aubertine breaking ties with the Working Families Party. This party has close ties with a radical socialist organization

THE APOLLO ALLIANCE

AND THE DEC

These Pod Casts are very dry; however, they are worth listening to. I have recently only begun to understand the scope of the alliances between business and government, and environmental organizations, how they together are shaping policy, this policy has a profound effect on our daily lives. The context of these podcasts will help bring to light the views of these people that are in key positions to change our future.
