Gov. Paterson
Won’t Throw
DSGEIS Out

Gov. David Paterson won’t halt the state’s preparation of rules governing natural-gas drilling, as local environmentalists have asked.
“More than 10,000 comments were filed with the DEC from stakeholders on both sides of this issue, and the DEC should have the opportunity to review those comments and issue a final GEIS,” the governor told Hometown Oneonta.
In a Wednesday, Dec. 30, press conference in City Hall, four groups asked Paterson to throw out the DGEIS and start again.
