We still don't know where the money is from. I do think the lawyers are billing by the word. They are certainly making money on the applications and lawsuits. As of right now they have begun the approval process under Article 10 and are pursuing two lawsuits against the Town. No indication they are backing off at all. And no decision from the judge yet. Is CircularEnerG still trying to force more trash onto the residents of Seneca County??
I see even Cuomo said this was a bad idea. Lots of reps against this one. That's the problem with these companies that have millions behind them. They waste so much time and money with small communities and beat them into submission. They don't care about what the community wants. They only care about their bottom line and making more money. Stank Meadows uses the same tactic. If the town doesn't do what they want, they bring them to court. Sad.

Chuck, the fact that the safe dose is measured in parts per trillion (a few drops in an Olympic size swimming pool) demonstrates the toxicity of the various PFAS compounds, not that everything in the world is toxic. According to the CDC: Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Your Health PFAS Health Effects The health effects of PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, and PFNA have been more widely studied than other per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Some, but not all, studies in humans with PFAS exposure have shown that certain PFAS may: affect growth, learning, and behavior of infants and older children lower a woman’s chance of getting pregnant interfere with the body’s natural hormones increase cholesterol levels affect the immune system increase the risk of cancer This is very very bad stuff. PARTS PER TRILLION, you have got to be kidding. If you start measuring contaminants in everything by PARTS PER TRILLION the whole world is toxic waste site. GET REAL

SF clergy concerned about division, urge Town Board to consider mediation
By DAVID L. SHAW dshaw@fltimes.com
SENECA FALLS — Seven clergy members are asking the Town Board to consider mediation to deal with what they see as an “increase of mistrust and divisions” among the five-member governing body.
The clergy made the suggestion in a Nov. 5 letter to Supervisor Greg Lazzaro and board members Lou Ferrara, David DeLelys, Doug Avery and Vic Porretta.
“We are writing because we share a deep concern for our community. We have witnessed the increase of mistrust and division amongst the members of the board,” the letter states. “We have watched as members of the board have fought with one another and the constituents you serve. We have heard the same arguments continue month after month with no resolutions. And we have felt and seen the impact that the ongoing conflicts and division is having in our community as trust and respect deteriorates between the board and the people of Seneca Falls.”
The board is split 3-2 on several key issues, including the future and environmental impacts of the Seneca Meadows landfill, the town budget and taxes and the host community agreement between the town and landfill that provides significant revenue to the town each year.
“We believe it is time to actively engage in a process of mediation,” the clergy said.
They recommend the town contact the Center for Dispute Settlement of Wayne County, saying that agency has worked successfully with local town governments in the past. They said Director Kelly Porter is willing to engage in this confidential process with the board at no charge.
“Consider the positive impact that your willingness to do this could have,” the letter states.
The letter is signed by the Rev. J. Brad Benson of Trinity Episcopal Church, the Rev. James Fennessy of St. Francis & St. Clare Catholic Parish, the Rev. Leah Ntuala of the First Presbyterian Church of Seneca Falls, Pastor Valerie White of the Seneca Falls United Methodist Church, Pastor Stephen Beal of the West Fayette Presbyterian Church, Pastor Gerald Graziano of Finger Lakes Christian Fellowship, and the Rev. Amy Loving Austin of Seneca No. 9 and Bellona Memorial Presbyterian Churches.
“As faith leaders who come from a variety of backgrounds that differ theologically and politically, we understand the hard work that is ahead of you. We do not always see eye-to-eye, but we recognize the value of working together in spite of those differences,” the clergy letter states.
“As leaders, we know the importance of building a strong foundation of trust and transparency. We encourage you to join us in being modelers of healthy discourse and teamwork in Seneca Falls.”
The letter concludes: ‘’Working together, through all our differences, we can help our community be strong and grow.”
None of the board members responded to an email request for comment Tuesday.
