Let us be guided by the better angels of our nature

With truth as our guide — we can’t accept the lies that have engulfed us for the past six years — we need to talk across parties and find common ground.

Sun, shade, and the symbiosis of agrivoltaics

While we do not discount concerns about farmland disappearing, we believe development is a more likely culprit than solar arrays. We urge continued responsible planning — on both the state and local levels — and we urge farmers to consider the advantages of agrivoltaics.

Launch the run so riders will come

We realize this is a chicken-or-egg situation. The CDTA doesn’t want to provide a bus route that few people ride. But, without that route, we can’t begin to make the change we need to save our planet. We urge CDTA to launch a run from Altamont and Voorheesville to the hub at Crossgates Mall and, most importantly, we urge residents to use it.

Persisting in factual errors undermines our government. We can’t live with the facts and surmount them if we don’t accept them. There are no such things as “alternative facts.” Something is true or untrue — or perhaps unknown.
