policies. His son is our Gov right now and probably only won because the other guy was so awful even his own party didn't want him.

But Gov Cuomo is for fracking, close to big Corporations, perhaps he's trying to bring business to upstate NY, but this area would do great with some GOOD business, such as Green Energy eg. People here are already, on their own, switching to alternative energy sources, I now see Solar Inc trucks around the area. Several small Solar energy businesses are starting to appear, and many people are using Wood Burning stoves to offset the cost of oil. Most of our neighbors use very little oil anymore, they use wood, a few have build their own windmills etc.

So encouraging althernative energy, rather than Fracking is something that would be very welcome here. But Cuomo doesn't seem to be doing that. Fracking Corps are his friends.
