Not one of them would publicly add their name to such ignorance and lack of respect for legal voters.<br /><br />this is sour grapes by the WDT editorial staff….add them to the list of losers….they lost a bp promise of big bucks for the advertising dept…hell, that kind of big bucks could have been enough to keep the rag going for a few more years.

A sitting State Assemblyman told wind lease conflicted members of the town board that it was their duty to vote their conflict of interest and not make a decision based on public referendum.<br /><br />2. Voters for Wind and Accionia tried to get the JCIDA to take away the school, county and town right to vote on a PILOT.<br /><br />3. Pro wind passed a petition that claimed voter irregularities that were never proven. It was aimed at legal Cape Vincent residents and voters who they thought would vote against the conflict of interest board members.<br /><br />4. The conflict of interest board members passed and then refused to rescind an illegal voter identification resolution.<br /><br />5. Letters with the names of the Cape Vincent pro-wind Democratic Chair and CGF chair on it were sent to the assessors of seasonal residents who owned residences in other communities but choose Cape Vincent as their home of voter choice. One "friendly" assessor took the bait and made a voter fraud accusation that was never proven. Those whose assessors received letters felt singled out and intimidated.<br /><br />6. Voters for Wind, CFG and Bp lease holders filed A SLAPP action against two Cape Vincent bloggers and John Does who were voicing their opinion.<br /><br />7. An affidavit filed in the Supreme Court by one of the plaintiffs verified that formal methods were being taken against part time residents that would protect the interests of full time residents.<br /><br />8. A list of 80 Absentee voters were challenged by pro wind Democrat-CFG town office candidates. The three candidates then filed a signed affidavit in Supreme Court alleging fraud by legal Cape Voters and the Jefferson County Board of Elections.<br /><br />Cape Vincent Anti Wind full time and part time residents.<br /><br />1. Exercised their legal right to vote against unethical lease holding public officials and threw them out of office.<br /><br />John Doe Citizen<br />and life long resident of Cape Vincent.John Doe Citizennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772501281254435766.post-87665103794827434562014-02-28T14:56:59.299-05:002014-02-28T14:56:59.299-05:00Do you think maybe John B.

That's unfortunate.<br /><br />But the editors do not even see themselves as a watch dog for clean governemnt. That's inexcusable.Stay Focsednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772501281254435766.post-89134227660569856282014-02-28T13:39:50.028-05:002014-02-28T13:39:50.028-05:00In a way the WDT was advocating the loss of home r...In a way the WDT was advocating the loss of home rule for the Town of Cape Vincent. Rather than support the Town in its fight to preserve the Town's comprehensive plan the WDT regrets the lost opportunities of some landowners. The paper should have been supporting local communities not question their legitimacy by inferring seasonal residents don't deserve to vote and that any government elected by seasonal residents doesn't deserve to be in office. Furthermore, the paper should have been celebrating the outcome in Cape Vincent that was compatible with the community's vision for future development. Hoorahs were in order, not regrets!<br /><br />The WDT was way out of line with their editorial and I would warn every municipality in the North Country to beware of the WDT who they have a God-given right to promote a path to economic gain regardless of what local communities want and prefer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772501281254435766.post-15704925316454656942014-02-28T13:07:40.454-05:002014-02-28T13:07:40.454-05:00Cliff - very well said....I hope this is printed a...Cliff - very well said....I hope this is printed as a letter in the WDT!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772501281254435766.post-33466619667797107912014-02-28T10:02:19.891-05:002014-02-28T10:02:19.891-05:00 Three cheers for the over-the-hill misfits.
