Everyone who signed the original LLAMA agreement should have received either via email or US Mail a copy of the LLAMA extension agreement.  At this point the vast majority of you have completed the agreements and sent them in.  If you have not yet completed your agreement but intend to please do so as soon as possible and fax, email or mail it to HH&K.

LLAMA has been very busy on our behalf the past couple of weeks and an email will be sent out to those who signed the LLAMA agreement in the next day or so.

A meeting was held tonight for all Vestal Coalition members.  An email will be sent out with a summary of tonight's meeting within the next day or so.  In addition, members without email access will receive information via First Class mail.  Members completing forms for the Vestal Coalition can send them directly to Hinman, Howard & Kattell, LLP via scan and email, fax or regular mail (see below).  We are asking that all forms be completed and returned by Monday, February 1st.

The following is a response from County Executive Barbara Fiala in regards to emails she has received supporting her stance on gas drilling:

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent words of encouragement as well as your input regarding potential drilling in the Marcellus Shale in New York State.  I was absolutely overwhelmed with emails (more than 450) and therefore, I apologize, I could not respond to every single one with a personal message.  Your support for this industry is loud and clear and I will continue to do my best to make sure your voice, and the voice of what I believe to be a majority of people in our community, is heard in Albany and beyond.

I share your love of the land and your support for our area economy.  I too, do not want anything to happen to our land, our water or our landscape in general.  That is why I have pushed for strong regulation of the natural gas industry.  However, I do not support delay for delay's sake.

 We must move forward and put strong requirements in place for the industry to meet and we must have steadfast oversight and enforcement.

I encourage all of you to continue to have your voices heard.  Our state and federal leaders need to hear from you!

Thank you again for taking the time to write to me. We will continue to fight for our right to tap into an important natural resource, diversify our economy and grow new jobs!

Thank you!

 

Barbara J. Fiala
