Last night's Public Hearing
At least 78 people attended the Zoom meeting. Every commentator the Village Board heard from last night was in favor of repealing the recycling law. Most opposed it because if provided no protections to the community. The Village Board voted 3-2 not to repeal the law based on the fact that the firm they hired to count the "super-petitions" has not submitted their report. These '
super-petitions',
in opposition to the facility, were collected by NoBurnBroome from owners of property within 100 feet of Endicott's Industrial Zone. If 20% of these landowners signed the Petition that would trigger special circumstances for the vote on the recycling law: 4 of the 5 Trustees would be needed instead of a simple majority. We still do not know if 20% signed.
Next Monday (July 27) the law will again come up for repeal.
