Land Conservation Director Scenic Hudson Seth McKee

"People who I have spoken to about our experience with the NYS Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance program(SASS) may not be representing exactly what I said"


Feburary 11,2015 ~Alexandria NY 

SASS was a topic of lively  discussion at a recent Town of Alexandria board meeting. 
"Life Long resident" Trevor Garlock stated that he had been in contact with Seth McKee from Scenic Hudson land conservation group . Garlock described the relationship between SASS and land trusts as one that enabled the land trust to get funding and grants in order to acquire more land . The uncut video of what he had to say is below. After Mr. Garlock gave his speech Jake Tibbles the Executive director of  the Thousand Islands Land Trust ( TILT)  challenged Garlock's characterization of how TILT would benefit from SASS.  Tibbles then read the letter below from the Land Conservation Director of  Scenic Hudson, who in it expressed his concerns that there may have been a  misrepresentation of what he had told some people about SASS  "People who I have spoken to about our experience with the NYS Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance program(SASS) may not be representing exactly what I said"  wrote McKee.  Tibbles then said (to Garlock) 
" I am wondering Treavor ,and I understand you support the land trust ,are you representing correctly
what Seth McKee is saying? "

Gee Trevor, what are you saying
Sounds like you'd like SASS if it was your idea. Then again you didn't get much right out of your conversation with the folks you tried to use to infect others with your ideas. I suppose this is a good picture of what you and other anti-SASSers do with information. Frankly there must be something else behind your campaign since SASS is not equipped with regulator clout.
Please if your going to twist one set of facts your likely to twist them all. Or maybe you just hear what you want to and repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.

Why would you trust a guy like this?
Is someone really listening to him?
if so they need their head examined before someone figures out you don't understand English and shouldn't be trusted with shape objects or the town's check book!
