The press release is being corrected.
And it's not really that big of a deal because press releases are just used by the press for quotes. It's usually not distributed to the general public. It was sent to us because we have an interest in the topic.

They don't care what a Senator from Queens or New York City DEC has to say about any of it. It's legal by New York STATE DEC laws. It's about perception. If the Senator had stated they consulted New York State DEC in the release would carry more wait. Trust me, having grown up in that area and know many who still live there, this statement is junk and will be laughed off because of that one line. And I'm being serious.

Why would anyone stop reading after that? The senator refers only to NYS.

It should be edited immediately to say New York State DEC, otherwise this will be dismissed by upstate residents who will just view this as another "City" politician who has no idea what is going on north of New York City. The statement may seem minor, but many will stop reading after that particular sentence. And you can bet the opposition will use that to their advantage.

Thanks, Stella "Conservation is sometimes perceived as stopping everything cold, as holding whooping cranes in higher esteem than people.
