Can a school district even DO that? :P We should institute a mass-mailing demanding they sue every developer in Cornwall too.

Or we could charge a toll for each car coming from Cornwall through Woodbury.

Mary Beth Greene-Krafft was as I recall the Councilwoman who accused us of ruining Cornwall at our 2006 IBEW meeting, then made a beeline for the door before anyone else could even get near the mike.

Here's an interesting tidbit, Cornwall tries to figure out how it missed getting the wells KJ acquired just across our border, and now wants to build a pipeline to (which would, mind you go right past Legacy's abundant watershed too).

There's a hint of a second article, but I don't see it posted. Might be good to look up Dec '07 Cornwall Locals.

Oh yee purveyors of mass development for probably grafted reason. You reap what you sow. Not to worry though, the village idiots will fold like a house of cards on the threat of a lawsuit with crouse leading the way to their mouse holes.
