The Secret Cornell

When I call Tompkins County’s policy making fraudulent; it’s not just mud throwing:

Their actions fit the legal definition of fraud.

Then why isn’t anybody doing something about it?

Because our worth has been set at keeping Cornell happy. Cornell’s only wrongdoing is not getting what they want.

Tompkins County authorities are creating a society that is greater than its rural community – and does the clay decide how it will be formed by the potter’s hands? Does the clay have the right to object to being molded and fired into an unchangeable shape – for the molder’s use?

Cornell’s “Quid Pro Cronyism” of interlocking corporations, institutions, and interests: is the model for a centrality that is sucking the last bit of nutrient from between the weaves of our unraveling society — there is no one left to turn to.

In Tompkins County; fraud is not an isolated issue: it’s coupled with every kind of ethical and legal misconduct that a planner or authority can be charged with: From refusing to follow the regulations and intent of New York State Town Law and ignoring the Best Practices of the American Planning Association – to Unconscionable Contracts written by authorities in a position of public trust.

And more damning, if possible, there is not one fact, action, or planning “vision” that contradicts this statement.

It’s the perfect circumstantial case — that no one wants to bring to court.
