I've been going through old news clippings of Save the Pine Bush and came across this. It's from the Schenectady Daily Gazette in 1989, and all these years later it still seems real timely. 🦋

Why were planning board members escorted by armed police?

Honestly, I think they're a bunch of cowards and revenue hungry crackheads trying to get more tax revenue by developing the Pine Bush so they can create more patronage jobs for their high school drop out in laws. But what do I know. I think we were pretty civil - we have the right to protest and chant and hold up signs, elected officials shouldn't hide from the public.
