Hi All,
Great turnout at the RFAC meeting yesterday in Hawley.
I would estimate a crowd of about 140 people at a meeting that normally gets 4 or 5 people.
Nice presentations directly to the decree party members.
New York State was not represented. Very disappointing considering much of the upper river is in or bordering NYS.
Some positives, but NJ still publically stated that there will be no change in FFMP until NJ gets what it wants. Like a small child throwing a tantrum. The problem this tantrum is like NJ hiding the car keys and so there is no movement forward. Very frustrating.
Time for all you NJ gang to elect different administration.
PA rep also stated that although "these issues may not be new to you all, I have an administration that has only been in place for two years and need to get them up to speed" or something along those lines. So, if there is a new administration every 4 years, nothing will get done there either!!
Our Government is just broken.
Additionally, Steve Tambini, the new executive director of the DRBC manipulated the sign up sheets to appease the flood groups. The sign up sheet to speak was first come first served and there was a certain amount of time allocated for speaking. When the flood groups people arrived later he changed the order of the speaker list to allow flood groups to speak.
So, they can change protocols if they feel like it, but can't make modest improvements to the FFMP.
