Dear Editor,<\/p>\n
I cannot sit back and just let\u00a0injustices happen as the government takes more and more control of us.\u00a0I am one of thousands in the U.S.\u00a0that are working on informing people of what’s going on with Sustainable Development (a U.N. Directive).\u00a0With New York high on the list of things happening quickly on this Directive, we must stay on\u00a0top of things.<\/p>\n
Regionalism was one of the first steps to control our counties and the way they spend or get monies back from the State.\u00a0State planning commissions are a major piece to sustainable plans to change our government and implement “their” policies – purely socialistic and a start of tyranny.<\/p>\n
Per Mr. John Anthony of Sustainable Freedom Lab, since many of us own our land and can produce property deeds, we feel our rights are safe.\u00a0When Regionalism is involved, this fatal misunderstanding sets us up to lose property rights, home values, and our way of life\u00a0by controlling the zoning of our land.\u00a0It turns zoning decisions over to unelected boards that must comply with\u00a0requirements of the Federal Grants that paid for the regional plans implementation.<\/p>\n
Have you noticed all the activity on promoting bicycle routes?\u00a0It is all part of it, along with\u00a0walking trails.\u00a0More of the monies that were due to Tioga County have gone elsewhere or we have to spend more to receive it.\u00a0Luckily our County Legislators and some Town Supervisors are right on top of it – my hats off to them.<\/p>\n
The EPA will be coming out with new regulations for us to “follow” due to global warming caused by “carbon footprints”.\u00a0\u00a0The U.S. contributes 1 percent of a carbon footprint – so don’t punish us for high emissions like China has.\u00a0Earth is just going through its natural cycle.<\/p>\n
We taxpayers are paying the tab for junk science and then getting stuck with regulations, soaring energy bills, lost jobs and reduced living standards based on bogus science.\u00a0If you have a smart meter on your house, they will start controlling our electrical use.<\/p>\n
It surprised me to learn that there are paid lobbyists and fear monikers that have “programmed” many people to believe that fracking will harm all water.\u00a0With the regulations that have been established for New York it can be done safely and bring a boost to our economy and bring jobs.\u00a0I challenge anyone to go visit Williamsport, Pa. and see how that area is booming.\u00a0Do many of you use natural gas to heat your home?\u00a0Guess where it comes from!<\/p>\n
If our current Governor is re-elected, we will all be “herded” towards the city, as we won’t be able to afford rural living.\u00a0Is this what you want for Tioga County?<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
Sandy Gumble<\/p>\n
