I guess this recent post that went out on Facebook exemplifies what's been the issue right along with this Stop the Canal Clear-Cut Clan...
The OPINIONS of their LEADERSHIP matters more than the SCIENCE & FACTS about Embankment Dam Safety, Maintenance, and Engineering. It really doesn't matter what is said by NYPA or the NYS Canal Corporation to support the clearing of embankments of dangerous trees. Stating that those trees are inhibiting proper safety inspections, causing structural issues or creating unsafe conditions along the Trail or Waterway really doesn't matter.
A 2014 NYS Comptroller's Study showing New York's Canal System is failing, a series of Dam Inspections that revealed these UNSAFE DAMS, even a number of emergency repairs in the past few years are not warning signs of an eventual collapse of a canal dam to this group, because facts & truth aren't what drives them...
It's the opinions of Ms. Agte that are much more important than what the property owners are saying about safety, just ask her...Here's another typical STCC post, whining about the lack of progress in the Age of Covid.
And of course "Fearless Leader" steps up and sets the record straight...with her valued opinion
The remarks at the end are MY OWN, speaking for the Co-Founders of the Erie Canal Neighbor's AssociationAnd once again the whining goes on and somehow the STCC now wants to put the standard "political spin" on what's happening. It's all some "hidden plot".
Do these people ever think about their OWN words before those words leave their lips?
