Warning: Secret Pipeline Ban on New York Ballot in November
Next month when New Yorkers go to the polls to cast their votes (an illusory scam in Communist NY), there will be three Propositions on the ballot. One of the three is called, "Authorizing the Use of Forest Preserve Land for Specified Purposes." The one-paragraph description implies municipalities will have more flexibility in using "preserved" land--so long as they designate the same amount of land to be added back to the pool of preserved land. It also allows bicycle trails and public utility lines to cross preserved land.
