Governor of New York State

Albany, NY 12224
Dear Governor Cuomo:
I have
signed this petition to request that you personally assist and intervene on
behalf of St. Lawrence County and each of its towns and school districts that
host the New York
Power Authority’s St. Lawrence-FDR power project to secure:
(1)A fair and equitable resolution of the on-going 10-year review of the existing host community agreement with NYPA,
(2) Benefits that are comparable to those provided to the NYPA Niagara power project host communities in Western New York, and
(3) Economic assistance that will serve to repair our economy, which has suffered significant job losses as a result of the shutdown of General Motors and partial shutdown of Alcoa, consistent with the legislative policy statement that the St. Lawrence-FDR Project “shall in all respects be for the aid, improvement and benefit of commerce and navigation along the St. Lawrence River.”
We, the undersigned, strongly urge you to assist our communities to receive fair and equitable treatment and the financial support from NYPA that is necessary to secure our economic future.

We are approaching the 250 mark. Push hard now to ensure Albany takes notice.

The feedback from our local school districts confirms that this funding is a matter of survival. Conversations with officials are moving slowly but we are keeping the pressure on.
May 8, 2014
The momentum behind this request is undeniable. It is time for our communities to finally get the fairness we deserve.

Bring the money back to the people where the power is actually made. We need jobs.
The north country has been getting the short end of the stick for way too long. Help us out gov.
Fair is fair. We are hosting the project so we should get the benefits. Simple as that.
My husband lost his job when GM packed up and we have heard nothing since. Cuomo needs to step up and fix this mess.
St Lawrence County deserves the same treatment as the western part of NY. Stop forgetting about us up here!!

Things have been rough around here for years. We need real support not just empty promises.
