Downstate policies coming downstate to roost................

When is the next civic meeting?????

The Senator needs to do more to use his influence to stop this. He has been in office a long time because voters have trusted him to work for them. It is time he does what he was elected to do, represent us. We don’t want it, find a way to stop it. FYI: Nine Dot has agreed to meet with me on FaceTime. What I would like is for elected representatives to back me when I do.

We knew they would not move it by asking! So now how do we stop them?

Second biggest con job on the planet ! There not doing this because they like you, just watch and see what happens to your electric bill ! It# going to be an addition to what you’re paying Con EDC!

This is terrible news. It is so dangerous to have this near a school and a residential area ! Is there anything that can stop it?

They bought the property legally. They have the attitude they can do whatever they want with it. Is it right? Of course not! But it will be next to impossible to stop them with Mamdani and Hochul and the spineless Schumer running things. Very sad. Our little area of Queens is being ruined by corrupt politicians who care nothing about the people who voted them in. Very sad. Moving is no answer because there is no where to move in this country anymore where this doesn't happen. I admire everyone who has the fight in them to continue to oppose this and I hope you win because I am trapped here due to age, illness and financial situation. What a way to wind it up.
