  1. In the case of Cape Vincent I hope they call in experts like Michael McCann for example who will also testify to the 50% property loss value.

If Bp gets an application approved then immediate action should be taken to make Bp, Marion Trieste, Voters for Wind, sound consultants and others responsible for economic losses as a result of their wrong information.
