AWOL: Where is Wayne Hunt and the planning board now?

Why isn't the Cohocton Board being called on to answer for themselves? They had all the answers - those that asked for caution were laughed at. Those that brought information from other installations were ignored.

So now with a mess on their hands, what do we get in the Corning Leader?

"Local officials said they have relied on the best information available and worked to ensure the safety of residents."

Safety? Was that really the only objective? What about quality of life?

Is this even remotely true? They did everything possible to ignore, trash, invalidate, any negative information that was presented to them. Mars Hill? Ignored. Lincoln? Invalidated. Tug Hill? Ignored. Europe? Ignored. In fact, Town Board members went out of their way to write long public letters in the newspaper (Valley News) about how "nutty" anyone who said they were noisy or had negative impacts. Town meeting after town meeting. Week after week, month after month.

And now how are they working to clean up the mess they created? The supervisor writes an open letter to the media that he's not going to handle complaints.

These people had no business siting an industrial park on top of residences -
