Margaret Pond told the Board that Clif Schneider was responsible for there not being a zoning law in Cape Vincent that had provisions to regulate wind development she stated that in 2006 while Mr. Schneider was on the town board he voted to discontinue the zoning amendment process to regulate industrial wind.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Schneider was allowed to set his voting record straight.
Ms. Pond’s fellow green shirt Harvey White had used this same ploy to discredit Clif Schneider in 2007 in a letter to the Editor to the Watertown Times.
Harvey White wrote,
“Actually, Supervisor Thomas Rienbeck and other councilmen voted to implement zoning, but Councilman Cliff Schneider voted no, and stopped the zoning from going into effect.”[sic]
What is interesting about this is that the vote that Harvey was referring to actually went like this Supervisor Reinbeck resolved to, “Discontinue the process of amending the Town of Cape Vincent Zoning Law to regulate wind towers.”
Mr. Schneider sent the Town Board Minutes to the Watertown Times and they wrote a retraction/correction.
As reported in the Watertown Times
CANDIDATE'S VOTE CORRECTED
A letter Wednesday from Harvey White, Cape Vincent, misrepresented town Councilman Clifford Schneider's vote on a zoning law for wind towers. According to minutes of the Aug. 28, 2006, board meeting, Mr. Schneider voted against a motion "to discontinue amending the town of Cape Vincent zoning law to regulate wind.
~~~~~~
What is even more interesting here is the fact that in order to discredit his opponent he used the actions of his good friend Thomas Reinbeck.

Oh yes! M Pond and Margaret Pond are one and the same. And of course she began her POF with, "I have been a resident of of Cape Vincent for 50 years. Well I think ole Margaret is bit north of 50, so I guess her diapers didn't hang on the line all those years ago, but they do now. You can DEPEND on that.
Isn't that how GWB became president? He also surrounded himself with flags as though he was the only patriot in his regime. "I an a war president". As for these scumbags, they are all "Pro wind" patriots. tell a lie enough times and it does become the truth. The trick is to never admit you're a liar. I just think it's hilarious how the roles change when the issue is something that infringes on their own quality of life. So much for checks and balances. When the corporations write those checks, there is no balance. The minority that takes the money dictates to the majority. Maybe that's why the whole country is messed up.
Call it the SCUMBAG CLUB. Members only. Pun intended.
When Cliff responded he spoke of a meeting in 2008, while Margaret told of his actions at a town meeting in 2006.
