Decker recommends Chenango pony up for CARI again

NORWICH – An organization that opposes the New York Regional Interconnect power line could receive another injection of money from Chenango County.

The finance committee will recommend to the Chenango County Board of Supervisors next Monday to commit $50,000 toward the fight being waged by Communities Against Regional Interconnect, or CARI. The county has committed the same amount each year since the organization was begun in 2006.

The decision was reached upon the recommendation of board Chairman Richard B. Decker, R-N. Norwich, who said he hoped CARI would be able to influence the New York Public Service Commission to rule against NYRI.
