Dear Editor,<\/p>\n
Good news for Westchester County, New York.\u00a0A Federal Court has ruled against Gov. Cuomo in a lawsuit against Westchester County.\u00a0Many of you will remember Rob Astorino’s comments on Property Rights being infringed on constituents there because of a H.U.D. grant for a new\u00a0apartment complex that was relocated to another area.\u00a0H.U.D. heavily fined the county, Astorino sued the state and Cuomo sued Westchester County.<\/p>\n
Have you heard about DOPRA (Defense of Property Rights Act)?\u00a0This is a bill in Congress that is being proposed and work still has to be done on it.<\/p>\n
Congressman Tom Reed held a meeting in Tioga County, and they are looking at helping those that were denied property rights (fracking ban\/mineral rights) on their properties\u00a0in which we would receive\u00a0dollars from the Federal\u00a0government as we has our rights limited.<\/p>\n
My question to Congressman Reed was, “Would we have to renege our mineral rights if we accept the dollars?”<\/p>\n
This is something we will have to watch closely.\u00a0I have said before, watch any grant \/ loan \/ reimbursement from the government as it will come with stipulations that would jeopardize our property rights in the future,\u00a0or\u00a0payment would eventually be paid back from royalty payments when and\/if drilling starts.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
