That's the impression you get when reading of Gov. Spitzer's plan to "study" Hinckley Reservoir.
With the exception of DEC and SEMO, the other parties named to the study group have a vested interest in what goes on at Hinckley -- which may be OK if ALL the interested parties were represented in the group. They are not. There are riparian landowners along West Canada Creek who are not represented. Herkimer County has an interest and is not being represented. And Greater Utica residents are not represented because MVWA has been behaving more like a private company or an Oneida County agency than a municipality looking out for the future well being of its residents.
How about a truly INDEPENDENT study of Hinckley Reservoir, INCLUDING where Hinckley fits into the context of all the water supply resources and needs of Oneida and Herkimer Counties?
What are they afraid of?

"MVWA has been behaving more like a private company" What about the 12 other members of the Water Authority who represent the towns and CITY OF UTICA? From reading your other post you act like Mr. Becher is a one man show.
Well . . . Isn't he?
When you control what a Board hears and sees, you control what they do.
The board put him there they can take him out
Maybe if we understood how he got put there to begin with, we would understand why he has not been removed.
