Diana Agrees To Sue

Diana decides to sue Kiryas Joel again over pipeline project

GOSHEN — Orange County Executive Ed Diana announced Thursday he plans to sue Kiryas Joel for the second time over the environmental review for the village’s proposed connection to the Catskill Aqueduct.

Diana said he believes the village’s amendments to the review still fail to address adequately the issues the courts identified in response to the county’s 2004 lawsuit.

His decision to sue comes four days before the county Legislature planned to hold a public hearing on the pipeline project and six days ahead of a planned Legislature vote on whether to sue.

The Pieman writes to say that it still very important that there is a huge turnout at Monday's Public Hearing at Central Valley Elementary School (7 PM) in order to send a message to the County Legislature.

Puts a damper on the Monday hearing. According to the paper, the hearing will go on but the direction will be a little different. It appears they will be focusing on sewer capacity on the whole. It would be a good time to push the Legislature on enforcing all the laws when it comes to KJ as they do with the all the rest of us.

See what an election year will do to people...perhaps the little fly that buzzes in Eddie's ear now and then told him that O'Dwyer wants to bring the hammer down on KJ??

If Eddie is being sincere (don't laugh too hard), he will attend Monday's meeting to get all the info he'll need to back up his lawsuit, and not just send his attorneys. Eddie should look at it this way, he'll be getting all the info for FREE from the hardworking citizens (Sheila Conroy, et al)that actually KNOW SEQRA...now that's good money management Eddie!
