Many think elections don’t matter. Even more are less concerned with local elections. But for Orange/Sullivan County residents, one of the most important elections in our lives will take place on Thursday September 13, for the 42nd state senate district (Orange, Sullivan, Delaware, and Ulster Counties).  That day will be our one and only chance to vote against the CPV Valley fracked gas power plant that has been poisoning the people, pets, wildlife, rivers, streams, lakes, and soil of Orange County since it began testing operations in January. A vote for Pramilla Malick is your vote against CPV!

In 2015 I along with Pramilla and four others blocked the entrance to the plant to bring awareness to the issue. Many environmental groups in collusion with the Cuomo administration worked to cover up the development of this project.

While the Percoco trial proved CPV was built through back door deals and corruption, it did not reveal the sinister role of many environmental groups and unions in facilitating CPV. I witnessed it firsthand. Many are now involved in this election promoting and heavily funding Pramilla’s opponent. Why? To serve CPV again? Don’t be fooled! Your lives depend on voting for Pramilla.
