Well, the slim chance we have to block the Grannis nomination is no longer so slim
From the NYSCC Region 9 Director:

Are you concerned about the appointment of Alexander
B. Grannis to Commissioner of the NYSDEC. I called
some area legislators to find out how many people
called to oppose Mr. Grannis for commissioner. All the
calls were opposed to Grannis as commissioner. The
number of calls or letters they received varied from
one to a high of fifty for a Niagara County Senator.
Senator Marcellino, Chairman of the Environmental
Committee office said they received many calls voicing
concern over the appointment of Mr. Grannis.
They also heard concerns from some Western New
Legislator too. Have you called and expressed your
feeling about Mr. Grannis?
While you are at it send New York State Conservation
Council President, Harold Palmer and Legislative Vice
President, Wally John your feeling about a new
Commissioner. There is no date set for the
confirmation of commissioner yet. Although, there
seems to be a concern to get it started because of
budget concerns, etc.

Please step up the heat. Although no timetable is set for the vote/ hearings, it could come about quickly due to budgetary concerns. In the mean time, we have huge momentum, and we need to continue to speak with one, united voice, and make sure we are all individually heard. Contact your State Senators, Assemblymen and women, make phone calls, write letters and spread the word.
We have the attention of the politicians and we are being heard! We keep it up, and we WILL be listened to, and we will win. But we gotta step up the pressure and stay on it!
Thanks much.... We can win this thing
