NY's arrogant AG - Eric Schneiderman
The Attorney General of New York State, Eric Schneiderman, has been caught in a lie and he's furiously backpedaling, trying to cover it up. On May 13 Schneiderman tried to pull a fast one by filing a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requesting FERC investigate the Constitution Pipeline for illegal felling of trees along the pipeline's path in New York State (see NY Attorney General Asks FERC to Investigate Constitution Pipe). Guess what. Tree's WERE cut along the path--but not by the Constitution. Landowners who wanted to realize the most money from trees that will eventually be cut were cutting the trees ON THEIR OWN, without the help, consent, assistance, nor any form of aide from the Constitution. Schneiderman's pathetic response? The Constitution should have known those stupid farmers would cut the trees and should have done something to stop it. What breathtaking arrogance...
