The Capitol Pressroom for July 29, 2011

We continue to monitor the concerns of the tiny Tompkins County Council of Governments Task Force on Gas Drilling Assessment and Land Valuation Subcommittee.   Chair person Carol Chock joins us; she and other Tompkins County officials worry that even as the state is pouring over the 1000-plus page SGEIS, Tompkins County is unable to obtain information on properties with leased wells.  Chock and mortgage lender Greg May, Vice President, Residential Mortgage Lending, Tompkins Trust Company, both join us with the latest, and how they plan to move forward. 

 And… the reporter roundtable tackles the shake-up in public authorities and economic development.
