Sunday, January 29 (4-8 pm)
One Main St, Trumansburg, NY 14886
It’s a “FUN RAISER!” Music by the Yardvarks & Funky Frack-Free Radicals (Harry Aceto & Friends), guest speakers, appetizers, cash bar. Mingle & dance… Bring your friends and stay for dinner! ALL ARE WELCOME, no matter where you live. By supporting this cause, you’re supporting ALL NY towns.
It’s a FUND RAISER, too! In September 2011, Anschutz Gas Co. from CO sued the Town of Dryden, NY. The case is pending, but whoever loses it will appeal, and it probably won’t be resolved for a year. Since that decision will impact all NY towns, the Town of Ulysses is leading a coalition of municipalities to shore it up. They’ve agreed to participate in an Amicus (“friend of the court”) Brief. This legal action supports the notion that NY towns, by exercising their right of “Home Rule,” CAN indeed ban fracking and other heavy industrial activities by enforcing local zoning laws.
As Ken Zeserson, one of the organizers, said, contributing to this legal work “simultaneously assists our compatriots in other towns, and, at the same time, strengthens the likelihood our Ulysses’ law will prevail if a suit is brought against our town.”
