Article 10 still in hands of Cape Vincent

To say that the proposed British Petroleum industrial wind siting is now in the hands of the state and is no longer the business or responsibility of the town of Cape Vincent public officials is misleading. 

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2013
As my town begins the 2013 campaign rush for Cape Vincent Town Council seats, I have found that many Cape Vincent voters may believe that the industrial wind siting being proposed for the town is “out of their hands now” and in the hands of the New York State. Furthermore, the less-than-informed about Article 10 seem to believe that town officials are wasting their time and taxpayers’ money on an attorney who represents the town’s Article 10 Advisory Committee.
According to information posted on the PSC website, British Petroleum is in the process of seeking Article 10 siting of its proposed 124, nearly 500-foot tall turbines, which will be seen from the Thousand Islands. A British Petroleum application has not been completed, nor submitted, and no application has been accepted or approved by the New York State Public Service Commission.

It's really up to governor to deal with it and we know how he'll deal with it, it's a done deal.

I have heard that crap spread around town by the winds. And with authority, or ignorance, if you wish. Well, Hirschey, Bragdon, and Oswald have until Nov. to get the truth out there. The Art x work done by them is a very positive achievement.

That could not be further from the truth.
You only confirmed what Richard Wiley said about voters being ignorant about the Article X process. You might want to go to the PSC site. You will see that it is far from a done deal as Wiley has pointed out to you.
