The residents of Corning must discover the truth about Tom Reed! There’s a different side to him than the sweet hometown boy image that he is slyly trying to portray. As attorney for the Town of Howard, he has defended the Howard Town Board and Planning Board members against allegations of Conflicts of Interest. Some continued to vote on issues concerning the Ever power wind project after they had signed leases or intended to sign leases with them. Tom Reed was paid by Ever power for these services and by the Town of Howard taxpayers He encouraged the town board to ignore the objections and concerns of residents in opposition to the wind project which will harm the environment, beauty of the town, lifestyles, dreams, property values and possibly the health of the residents. He told the Town Board that a Code of Ethics Board was not necessary to review their actions. Howard did not have the required Code of Ethics. At the Chamber debate, Tom Reed said that there were laws that could be “tweaked”. He has stated that raising taxes to pay for services is ‘old Politics”, that there were other ways of obtaining sources of revenue. The cozy connections that Mr. Reed has with Albany and wealthy corporations have led Mr. Reed to believe that money and greed speak louder than ethical, legal behavior.
”TWEAKERS” like Mr. Reed are filling their personal troths at the expense of others. Corning does not need a mayor like Tom Reed.
