Recently Dan Maffei’s has introduced legislation:
Maffei’s “Onondaga Lake Restoration Act” would shift oversight and most federal funding of the lake cleanup from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has guided the cleanup since 1999, to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
“It’s about bringing voices onto the lake that have been shut out too long, like the Onondaga Nation, local scientists and other experts that we have right here in our back yard,” said Mike Whyland, Maffei’s chief of staff
However according to Jim Walsh:
….. he also believes that towns along the lakeshore — including Camillus, where Honeywell wants to bury dredge spoils from the lake — should have a voting spot on the council. For now, Syracuse would be the only local municipality with a vote.
This smells of something worse than the lake.
