2018 NY Governor's race: on Environment


Cynthia Nixon: Outraged over slow response to village's contaminated water

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon says New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration "ignored" an upstate village's problems with its contaminated water supply. The village's municipal water supply and private wells were contaminated by a toxic chemical known as PFOA. The contamination was uncovered in 2014, but a cleanup effort by the state wasn't started until early 2016. Nixon called the delay "egregious" and "shocking."

Marc Molinaro: Proven track record backing the Hudson River PCB cleanup

Molinaro has been a supporter of the continued Hudson River PCB cleanup, citing additional remediation as important for a river that is a channel for transportation, commerce and recreation. Molinaro also is against proposed plans to expand the commercial shipping anchorages on the Hudson. Gary Bassett, mayor of the village of Rhinebeck, said based on Molinaro's track record he's optimistic Molinaro will support key environmental issues.
