Today in the Watertown Daily Times there is a full page spread extolling the virtues of BP’s Cape Vincent Wind project

BP’s Project Developer Richard Chandler claims to be “engaged” with our community. His engagement consists of a paid advertisement in the Watertown Daily Times and a letter to our community telling us that our zoning law is overly burdensome and we should follow industry standards. Apparently protecting the health and welfare of the citizens of our community is overly burdensome for BP. Additionally, choosing to do a PR Blitz in a local newspaper rather than “engaging” in a meaningful dialog demonstrates a profound lack of respect for our community…

Additionally this is the same old, tired advertisement BP used Feb 12, 2012  Two days after the announcement in the Watertown Times that BP had purchased the rights to Acciona' St Lawrence Wind farm . For his latest piece of propaganda (above) Chandler copied a couple of paragraphs from his comment letter to the Public Service Commission  Re: article 10 .
