Robert C. Strasburg Message to Cohocton

COHOCTON VOTERS

On Thursday night August 2, 2007 the Cohocton Planning Board approved the site plans for the proposed Wind Project in our Town. We were told (recorded on video) that this was done before the Town Board finalized the agreements governing the income stream and liability protection between the Developer of the Wind Project (UPC) and the Town. Now the Developer has permission from the Town to build their project without having agreed to finalized terms of financial remunerations. We taxpayers are now at huge risk for lawsuits if the Town Board tries to negotiate financial or liability protection terms that the Developer does not like. It is now too late to negotiate with any leverage. We are now hostages at the mercy of this Developer.

Do you remember the picture of Saddam Hussein standing in the hole in Iraq looking up and foolishly demanding to negotiate with our soldiers because he was the leader of Iraq? What a pathetic picture of a delusional mind. This is a fine example of the inept leadership of the current governing administration of our Town.
