Scenic Hudson & Kickback Cathy Hochul wake up and heed the voice of the people?

How much money does the voice of the people represent? That is all these oligarchs/plutocrats care about.

The only way to stop this environmental and cultural destruction is by a coordinated legal strategy (including an antitrust attack) which will require a large amount of funding, but more difficult to find in NYS, it will require an honest, non activist, apolitical judicial system, and in DC a DOJ devoted less to partisanship than to the well being and legality of the Republic.

The whole HHFT disgrace is typical of our nation's progression towards an oligarchy, and the only way to combat this is with a very vigorous return to Constitutional legality, and a non-partisan implementation of antitrust actions against institutions (including higher education), corporations, and individuals, in an effort to return political power back to the people.

In our nation oligarchy=plutocracy and the only way to destroy one is to bankrupt the other.

thanks for this. davis is who i assumed he is: rich boy playing w/money his folks and grandfolks earned in order to burnish a fragile ego. this is a common phenomenon. if his vanity project takes place, it will be the death of Cold Spring and much of the Hudson Valley. Scenic Hudson, the relevant NYS agencies and assorted politicians up to and including the governor need to wake up and heed the voice of the people.

Davis seems like a modern Robert Moses, someone with money and influence who does not have to answer to anyone. Using his money to build a vanity project and could care less about its effects on others. Sounds like Scenic Hudson has sold its soul.
