Let me be perfectly clear that this is not some publicity stunt, scheme to make money for lawyers doing nothing, or gas industry charade. Like many of you I am a honorable landowner proud to be supporting Natural Gas development. I am working very hard as an unpaid volunteer in the JLCNY to help bring the benefits of NG development to our homes, communities, and state for the simple reason it is the best and most sensible path for NY to follow. Unlike some of our more vocal anti gas opposition leaders, I'm not playing games or calling others names to cover up a defunct ideology and factually bankrupt scheme to mislead people into thinking their land isn't worth leasing.

 

Its really just this simple...if our demand is not met, the JLCNY will take its Article 78 Petition to compel the State to complete the SGEIS and commence the action on February 14, 2014. We will make it returnable before the Court with the Norse Petition on March 7, 2014. That is the JLCNY protecting and advocating your rights and interests!

 

And that is only the start of today's good news. Remember that $18,000 I told you we needed to raise by February 14? As I write this your generous donations have reached an amazing $12,208.37! I am nearly overwhelmed by the support this shows for our strategy and our cause!

 

 

Every donation big and small propels us towards our goal. I can only hope that the momentum builds as those who have not yet donated do so in order to allow us to surpass $18,000 and sue NYS and Governor Cuomo.

 

Last week I shared our press release and our strongly worded and justified demand letter with you as well. They're attached here again so it is clear just how serious this plan is.

 

Please spread the word to all supporters. We must reach our fund raising goal by February 14 in order to file the action.  Donations can be made payable to “Landowner Defense Fund” and mailed to:

JLCNY
PO Box 2839  
Binghamton, NY 13902
Attention: Landowner Defense Fund
