The Governor, his crew and the company have destroyed 2000 acres of beautiful land, with the eager help of the guy who inherited it from his parents. And what do you know, he was one of the corrupt POSs on the joint development authority. He waited until both of his parents to die before he sold it.

Nobody wants them. The leftists are trying to force them on an un willing public.
10 years ago, Andrew Cuomo gave Tesla nearly $1 billion to build a solar panel plant in Buffalo NY.
The state built SolarCity (later absorbed into Tesla) a new factory, which never came close to employing the “many thousands” of workers intended. When it runs, it basically does final packing for low-end products produced elsewhere employing maybe 200-300 people.
Also coming from this “investment” were several political-crony financial corruption / kick-back cases
Now Democrats in New York aren’t allowed to talk about it.
Will Americans ever learn? NO.
