What a travesty that our country, and particularly NYS, has *devolved* to an all-time low where private citizens must spend considerable time and resources policing elected and appointed officials put in place to look out for the public’s best interests. Instead of a government of, by and for the people, our representatives and their decisions are heavily biased inappropriately towards deep-pocketed special interest groups, their lobbyists and multi-level corporate entities, like Iberdrola. This must stop!
Please do your part to restore government the way it should be. Please reject the Iberdrola deal as Judge Epstein has recommended. You already know why this is the right thing to do!
Please do not succumb to all the pressure from lobbyists and multi-entity corporate shell games so they greatly profit at significant taxpayer and ratepayer expense.
NYS citizens, especially taxpayers and ratepayers, that are already burdened with high taxes and electric bills do not deserve to pay more while Industrial Wind Companies like Iberdrola (including their maze of multi-level entities) and their owners avoid taxation, add significant costs to rates and impair the environment in the process.
Boone Pickens and many others say we must stop paying over $700 billion, annually, to foreign countries for our oil dependence. Why then, should we send EVEN MORE billions of dollars in profits overseas to foreign entities for electricity at public expense? This is madness and must stop!!
Iberdrola has threatened to walk away from the Energy East deal if they do not get their way. You will be doing your job, correctly, and in the best interest of NYS citizens by handing Iberdrola their “walking”
papers, this Wednesday.
Sincerely,
Jim Sawicki
Canandaigua, NY
