Scenic Hudson has made claims of a transportation “safety crisis” in the Breakneck Ridge area to get $20 million in State taxpayer funds, and a fast-tracked environmental review, for the first phase of the Fjord Trail – but the claims turn out to be overblown, and contradicted by police reports and other public documents.
This publication is a gift to the community! The two journalists uncover, through detailed investigative reporting, a very disturbing and seemingly corrupt deal between a billionaire donor, the governor, scenic hudson, and nys parks. The terrible power of money and influence..... Thank you gentlemen for your diligent work!
Wow. This is an impressive piece of investigative reporting, to which Scenic Hudson, HHFT and Parks will have to respond. The compilation of exaggerations/lies on safety is shocking as is the presumption of State Senator Skoufis from the other side of the river. He was apparently so eager to ingratiate himself with his "hoped-for" constituents on this side, he forgot to ask any questions. And he, chairman on the Committee on Investigations and Government Operations. What an irony.
I hope Weiss and Stillman, two former reporters for nationally recognized newspapers, will now take what HHFT calls a "unique" public/private partnership with no definition of unique. Taxpayers--and our elected representatives in Albany--are being taken for a ride. Thanks to Stillman and Weiss.
Great story exposing the Shady path Scenic Hudson has strayed on since its Grass Roots beginnings. Now they have been bought out by the very interests the originally fought against . I am happy to see the group Protect the Highlands now picking up Scenic Hudsons long discarded Original Battle cry
