BUS TO ALBANY
Shale Shock iof Ithaca is getting a Swartout Coach bus to take anybody who wants to go to the public hearing Oct 15th in Albany of The State Assembly’s Committee on Environmental Conservation. Please contact shaleshock08@yahoo.com for more info. Cost per seat is $30. If you are able to do so, please add additional money for scholarships for those who cannot afford the entire $30. For those to whom the cost is prohibitive, please send what you can.
The bus holds 55 people. Bus leaves from Ithaca and will stop in Binghamton, but reservations are required. For reservations and more info, please contact shaleshock08@yahoo.com
Ithaca Folks: We’ll meet the bus behind the Ramada Inn (up by Pyramid Mall). We can park cars there. Bus will be there at 5:45am and will leave at 6:00am.
Binghamton Folks: The bus will stop in Binghamton, at the Cracker Barrel parking lot off Rte. 81 at 7:00am. Bus will arrive back in Binghamton at 8:00pm and Ithaca at 9:00pm
Apologies to any and all who have received this message earlier via another server. However, I think that it would be great if we could get some more representation from our area and this bus idea (below) will make it easy for many to attentd. We need to establish a presence at the upcoming Oct. 15 State Assembly meeting of the Committee on Environmental Conservation.
Not only can we mention concerns that we have about natural gas drilling, but we can urge our representatives to do their jobs and tell them that they will be held accountable if they ignore their constituents’ wishes and best interests.
For those who cannot possibly attend the meeting on Oct. 15 in Albany, I urge you to print out a copy of the Damascus Citizens’ petition to Gov. Paterson, obtain five signatures, and mail it before the 15. The Damascus group will present them en masse to the Commission on Environmental Conservation on the 15th.
