Don Alhart of channel 13 wham news:
I just saw on the internet your coverage of the PSC meeting that took place today at the Rochester Public library. Your report focused on Ellen Rosen, Rochester Business Alliance touting the benefits to the community and the fact that Kodak is supporting this sale. Where is your accurate reporting? Where were the sounds bytes from the intelligent people that voiced the alarming negatives of a takeover by a foreign entity. And Kodak giving their nod to it doesn't say much. Look where they are as a corporation and what has happened to this community because of their lack of vision and poor management.
As for your statement that NY would be sending a negative message to block the takeover "wake up", someone needs to send that message. You glossed over the fact that the energy source for this region is being bought out by a foreign company, Iberdrola. A company that isn't even traded on this country's stock market. A company that has anti trust claims against it. With everything that we have heard about "energy security" in the United States, how can this be considered securing energy...selling out to a Spanish company?
By featuring the people you did, you are supporting giving over our power source to a foreign entity. Your reporting was so watered down and blasé by saying that the only thing people were worried about was rate hikes. Get out there and hear what the concerned public has to say and get a backbone when you report it. If you had attended the meeting and if you really call yourself a news reporter your story would have to be much different. Where is your conscience?
