Good News Cortlandt: New York State will prohibit Holtec from releasing 1.5 million gallons of radioactive water into the Hudson River!

Today, Governor Hochul announced that she signed legislation, unanimously passed in a bipartisan show of unity, by the State Senate as well as State Assembly, prohibiting the discharge of any radioactive water into rivers and streams. The elected officials of the Town of Cortlandt attended every meeting of the Decommissioning Oversight Board, and from the outset, argued against Holtec releasing toxic water into our beautiful river. On May 6, the Town of Cortlandt held a large rally at the waterfront Park in Verplanck. This event included the participation of four United States Congressman, representing New York City to Albany. In addition, several State Senators (including Peter Harckham), Assembly members (including Dana Levenberg), our County Executive George Latimer, and other officials from Ossining, Peekskill, and other involved communities. We were joined by multiple environmental groups, and the river was crowded with a flotilla of citizens, demanding that the river remain clean.  READ MORE AT
