TAX BREAKS DEPRIVING TOWN AND COUNTY TAXPAYERS OF NEEDED REVENUE
The Unadilla Central School
District has joined the Town of Columbus in fighting Chobani’s
attempts to lower it’s assessments on their yogurt plant and
warehouse in Columbus.
Honestly, I must admit...
I went dragging my feet to Unfractured...even had a stomach ache
which eventually disappeared. Why the feeling? Perhaps
not wanting to touch the pathos of the past that at some levels is
still with us.
As I sat there and was allowed into Sandra Steingrabbber's journey
of unquenchable desire to speak out against facking the land with
ill effect on the water, I felt prevledged to be in her presence.
She used her education, her past experience, her cancer, to make
the contribution to lead other like minded people to stand for
something that benefits the greater good.
After the film, she answered questions and gave a hopeful vision
for the future. The key is that each person does their part,
follows their passion to serve the whole: when we see
something, say something and if we can, do something.
Find the places where we can still move and feel connected to a
larger movement.
What do we want?
Solar
Renewable energy
Turn NY into Green
Keep the sea water out
And so much more in many different areas!
BE THE
CHANGE...
I left hopeful.
