April 13- Rally to Tell Governor Cuomo to Veto Port Ambrose

April 13, 2015 @ 11:15 am - 1:00 pm

FREE

Donovan RichardsGovernor Cuomo will be coming to speak at a fundraiser at the Harvard Club. It’s a chance for us to bring our message directly to Governor Cuomo to urge him to veto Port Ambrose. Please bring your banners and home made signs. We hope to see many of you at the rally.

In order to stop Port Ambrose, we need to focus on Governor Cuomo and Governor Christie because they must exercise their authority to veto this project. We just need one of the Governors to exercise his veto power. If they remain silent, then it is deemed that they have given their approval. Please call Governor Cuomo (518) 474-8390 and Governor Christie (609) 292-6000, as often as you can, and tell them to veto Port Ambrose.

We have just learned that the Federal agencies, the Maritime Administration and the U.S. Coast Guard, stopped the clock on evaluating Port Ambrose. Among the reasons cited was that the agencies received a tremendous amount of public comments on the draft EIS and would need sufficient time to address and incorporate these comments into the Final EIS. This is the second time the clock has been stopped on this project and it is unclear for how long. This may push back the issuance of the Final EIS and the Governors’ window to veto this project. This is great news for us because it would give us more time to organize and mobilize more people to oppose and stop this monster Port Ambrose project.
