    Myopic leadership and insufficient staffing/funding.

    The agency shouldn’t be guided by legal guardrails and lawsuits by various stakeholders. The procedures and power are already present. The APA needs to use them per their charter, and function more independently of Albany politics.

    No, legal recourse against NYS agencies is a check and balance of their power. If legal recourse did not exist, then we would have agencies beholden to the wishes and desires of one user group or organization? As much as I dislike the rulings coming out of the NYS supreme court on many issues. See you in court.

    I am sure all the trees, all the fishes, all the frogs and the water and air would unanimously vote against both, the boat house and having poison sprayed over and on their bodies. But who am I. Just another unimformed human.
    Give the Adirondacks a vote! Is that not the meat of the adirondack protection, to hear what IT needs, not us?
