Area's lakes require protection
The Citizen should be commended for its recent articles concerning the water quality of the Finger Lakes. The series of articles reminds us that we have an important responsibility to ensure the health of the Finger Lakes and the future vitality and viability of our region.
As one who was born and raised in the Finger Lakes region, I have always believed that the region could greatly benefit from a focus of world-class researchers whose study was dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting the Finger Lakes. It was an idea that was generated nearly three decades ago while I was a graduate student at Cornell University, and an idea that I am proud is now a reality.
As the state senator representing the Finger Lakes region, I was extremely pleased to secure $1 million in state assistance for the creation of the Finger Lakes Institute at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva.
