Over 200 people from across Tompkins Co. and beyond attended today's protest and Andrew Cuomo's stump event, to convey that we don't want hydraulic fracturing to damage our local environment and to demand a new environmental impact study from the DEC. TV reporters came from Binghamton, Elmira, Syracuse, and New York City so there should be a plenty of local and state-wide press coverage. Read the *Ithaca Journal*'s report at: http://www.theithacajournal.com/article/20100819/NEWS01/8190360/Candidate-Cuomo-drives-into-Ithaca<http://www.theithacajournal.com/article/20100819/NEWS01/8190360/Candidate-Cuomo-drives-into-Ithaca-> .
Apparently, Cuomo told his family that "people [in Ithaca] like to question authority." You bet we do, especially when something as blatantly risky as the Marcellus Shale horizontal hydrofracking process is proposed in our area. We must keep up this effort to stop the proposed drilling as it threatens our watersheds and environment, including important area bird habitats.
