Giving Thanks for our Good Town Leaders

We should all be very thankful and proud of the fact that we have a group of honest and hard-working people representing the citizens of Cohocton on our Town Board and Planning Board.

As we have said many times, we do not always agree with all of the decisions that are made by them, and many of them have very different positions on a lot of issues. But, the work that has been done by these fine men and women over the past three years to write a local windmill law that is very strict in protecting the environment and the people of Cohocton, while at the same time allowing for responsible wind power development is a great example of why these people deserve our respect for having the best interest of the people of Cohocton in mind while they serve our community.

They have taken a lot of abuse and have been threatened and harassed, but they have stood tall and we should all be thankful that we have people that we can trust to do what is right for our Town and not be intimidated by threats and harassment.

In a few short months we will have a wind farm in Cohocton that we can all be proud of. With all of the benefits that the wind farm will bring to our community we will have even more to be thankful for next Thanksgiving.
