    One has to question the accountability by NYS on how this debt will be spent. Since the 1996 Environmental bond act has had no auditing or accountability by the state. Current and future taxpayers of NYS are now placed into 4.2 billion dollars of further debt, for nothing more than pork spending to satisfy Environmental special interest.

    “By making the oil and gas companies pay to clean up their climate mess”, then said oil and gas companies pass the expense on to their customers, you and me.

    While the Bond sounds like a good idea, I, like many others I assume, have little faith the “pot of money” will be used responsibly and for what voters actually approved. As stated in the bond “local communities, land conservation, recreational infrastructure, and job growth”… “local communities” and “job growth” can encompass a wide array of Albany’s progressive pet projects that have virtually zero impact on the environment.

    Reports today show that an audit by Comptroller DiNapoli show that over $11 BILLION of Covid unemployment relief funds were stolen or fraudulently paid.

    I wonder how much of this bond act money will be misused, stolen, flushed down a rat hole?
