Thank god its over I see where they are allowing the ones that are 170ft but that is much better than the 450 footers they wanted.

I have to admit that I am very relieved on this and very happy!

Not quite. The state legislature is trying to remove Home Rule - meaning that any zoning made at the town level would be irrelevant. The state would control where they go regardless of town laws.

Ain't it fun :)

Well, Effie, UPC told Bethany at the informational meeting that they didn't want to go where they weren't wanted, that if the town banned them they wouldn't fight it. So I would imagine that they've rescinded their application for at least the Bethany portion of their Genesee/Wyoming County-wide project...right...? I mean, they wouldn't lie to us, would they...?
