If ever there was an ideal candidate for a one year term in Cooperstown, it's Jim Dean. The Village needs Dean this year more than ever. The DEC will issue its hydrofracking regulations this year - in as little as 120 days. The Village is not prepared - it has no road use ordinance - so a frack truck convoy could go down any Village street - Lake Street, Main Street, you name it, none are protected. Jim Dean has been an outspoken opponent of hydrofracking, and this is the year to be focused on it. Most Village residents live in the township of Otsego - and Otsego has no road use ordinance. Jim Dean is an articulate advocate for such ordinances. Absent those protections, the roads coming into Cooperstown - East Lake and West Lake, River Road - could turn into frack truck freeways. We need strong leadership on these issues. This year more than ever. Or the Village could end up without a police force when it is overrun by frack truck convoys. No need to wait and see on any of this. Or will see that you shouldn't have waited. Be safe, not sorry. Vote Dean.
