Environmentalists in New York remain angry over the possibility that Gov. Kathy Hochul will approve the request of Williams Cos. to construct a natural gas pipeline into the state.
The public comment period ended over the weekend and now Williams awaits a decision from the Governor and her environmental leaders.
Still, activists aren’t happy.
“It looks like Kathy Hochul is doing a dirty deal with Donald Trump. She’s fast-tracked the permitting process, not allowed public hearings and is limiting public participation in what looks to be a setup,” said one who argued the governor should take steps to not work with the Trump administration.
Just a week ago, hundreds marched in protest and among them was Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado.
“The fossil fuel industry is posing a direct threat to our communities. We have a responsibility to hold the line here in New York and make sure that that doesn’t happen.”
