Knowing I will get grief for this, I’m putting my head out there, on the platter for those on both sides to take a shot at, but this must be addressed…

Andrew Cuomo is not opposed to hydrofracking in the Marcellus Shale.

Seems the crowned prince was visiting Ithaca last week and ran into (shudder!) constituents who had done research and knew the issue:

“We need to have [Cuomo] speak very clearly, very succinctly about what he wants to do about this immense challenge to his administration, if he gets elected,” said Water Yang of the advocacy group Toxic Targeting.

At stake is drinking water, not only along the state’s southern border, but also millions of taps in New York City, where water is pumped in from upstate.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg is opposed to drilling in the watershed, and earlier this year won tough state regulations there.

As for the rest of the state, Cuomo is waiting for a final review. But critics’ charge that based on a preliminary examination, the document promises to be woefully inadequate.

What’s more, after protesters came out by the dozens, some were peeved Cuomo didn’t take questions from the podium.

“I suspect that’s because he didn’t want an embarrassing political moment,” said one environmental activist.

I, for one, will work against anyone who has the audacity to suggest that money trumps environment.

You can’t drink money. Having a big D next to your name on the ballot no longer holds sway with me. I’m beginning to believe that there is little difference between the big D and the big R.

What would you ask Andy?
