The Duanesburg Planning Board approved the first residential wind tower in Schenectady County at last Thursday nights meeting.

You need to get the facts straight miss repub you are worng again. The mayor of the city of schenectady approved the first tower in the county at the GE along with - the help of the demos in the county leguslature and Judy Dagostino who worked to get it through with the GE

Sal I guess you have lost the ability to comprehend as well as mastering the English language. After reading and 'comprehending' what Rene stated, it was more than obvious that she was stating a fact, not taking credit for anything. Nor taking credit over Suzie Savage. Being that there was not even a mention of suzie's name. Not to mention, suzie couldn't shine rene's shoes. IMHO

It was the 'planning board' that approved it's first residential wind tower. If memory serves me right, it was suzie that was against the wind farms.

So putting all of this nonsense aside....Rene, after the residents get the approval, is there a time frame when the wind tower must be erected? And does it need to be inspected before they can start using it?

Sue Savage stated emphatically that there was no potential for wind power in this county, AFTER a republican proposed such a plan a year and a half ago, BEFORE there was any talk of "green" initiatives from ANYONE ANYWHERE. Of course once "the GE" decided to build one, then it was all a great democrat plan all along for the future of the county and it's children!!! FUNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYY! Of cousre Judy D had a plan AFTER the other legislator proposed it. Something about reading the National Grid bills more closely and turning down the thermostats and such. But I really don't think "Judy D" can claim any credit for what is happening in Duanesburg any more than she could claim credit for remodeling and upgrading the Quaker Street library. Of course her and "Chrissy" DID propose that as a last minute promise to Duanesburg in the final weeks of their last campaign.

But alas, promises are made to be broken, aren't they. IT NEVER HAPPENED AND NEVER WILL! the press conference and the glossy mail pieces they sent out to beat Bill Sherman worked though, broken promise or not. The question IS: Since she didn't live up to her campaign promise last time, can you trust her now? Or just vote for her because she has a pretty "D" after her name and it is fashionable to have a "D" there?

Sorry for being off topic. I guess there was something of this topic in another post...

Bum, generally the building permit needs to be obtained within 6 months and there will be inspections required.  I won't pretend to know what they will be looking for during inspections, I'll leave that to the experts. We are very excited about this project.

Well he is posting here now apparently and singing something else to make you happy.

Just curious.....aren't you???

I about die of curiousity every time I'm on this forum.  I always wonder who the other person is.

...and WE wonder who you are, Rene! Oh, wait, no- we KNOW who you are! As Salvatore says, the mayor of Schoharie...And we LIKE you!

I agree.  It's refreshing to see an elected official who places the interests of his/her constituents over those of him/herself and his/her party.  Isn't that what "representative form of government" is about?  Rene, any chance of you either running for County Legislature or moving to a different town in Schenectady County?

yeah, Rene- you need to run for County

Remember that Duanesburg has nothing to lose but everything and deservingly to gain. And Rene does a great job of stepping up to the plate with her apparent love for her town and it's residents. I think she should stay right where she is. Perhaps a run for the county legislature would be in order someday, but not now! She needs to fight for the Duanesburgians right now.

Thanks guys, and I would never say never, but I will say fat freaking chance.  I love Duanesburg.  I am not thick skinned enough to go through a nasty campaign and I would not subject my husband to it either.  I saw and heard what they did to Carolina with my own eyes and ears.  I'm not in this for political gratification or enhancement.

there is a lot of mis- information that is being put out by various peoples and according to my sources there has been good reprenetation at getting the work done over here for the past few years and overall the county is not the problem since it all mandated by the state which as well know indeed is run by the repubs. So before we go and throw these good legialtors out like Angelo and such who have been in and doing the good work we dont need to tip the carts anymore so it would be best if we left in Judy and Ang to do the work at cutting and that. many of you talk about putting in another repub but look at the ones we have already that arent doing the jobs {excepting Ang but he really isn't a rep at heart } so lets not be rash and leave well enough alone here. So really Rene I am sorry I was hard on you and said that there but I thought you were playing politics by taking the credit for the wind / solar but I should'nt have said that there. I apologize since the people need you to stay there in Duanesburg and do the job you do. I didnt mean to get rude. I know people got P O ed at me and I take it back. But I wont say you should jump into county since most of the ones we have do an OK job over here.
