New York State has always been my home, having been raised in the southern Finger Lakes region in the Chemung River valley, and having lived in central NY, western NY, the Delaware River Valley, and the Hudson River Valley/Catskills. I have become enamored by the beauty specific to each region, and have made it a point to know the entire state, including the urban areas and their specific natural characteristics. All are worth fighting for.
I have been active with the gas task force for years; was very active in helping Rachel Treichler with the Sierra Club et al People vs. Shell and the Village of Painted Post lawsuit, and have been fighting fracking and all infrastructure, especially waste and water, for 6 years. I am currently involved with the fight against the Pilgrim Pipelines. I am a member of United Against Fossil Fuels a coalition against all infrastructure. I am also currently in a battle, including a trespass charge, to help a poisoned woman protect not only her children and property, but also a large nationally protected wetlands.
Voters need to be aware that I am not prone to compromise! msfinn123@yahoo.com
