New York's Environmental Leaders Call on Gubernatorial Candidates to Share Green Plans

ALBANY, NY (10/27/2010)(readMedia)-- A broad coalition of environmental, conservation and public health groups today sent a public letter to the Cuomo and Paladino campaigns asking both to share their vision for conservation and environmental protection in New York State.

The complete letter is posted here.

The recent termination of Pete Grannis, Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, highlights the dire state of that agency and serves as a powerful and public reminder of longstanding problems regarding the state's efforts to protect public health, provide stewardship of our lands, and prevent air and water pollution.
