Lewis Family Farm, Inc. vs. APA
 

Yesterday (November 17, 2010) Judge Richard B. Meyer stunned APA and the AG's office of Andrew Mark Cuomo with an award of counsel fees.

Also stunned are the half-baked charities that support APA's malicious and devious practices. It's a cabal of 501(c)(3) operations extending to two NPR affiliates.

Anonymous donors support, then come to buy from the crushed.

Judge Meyer's decisions have established a standard and changed the rules in The North Country. Lawyers and our quisling judges can now see the light.

No elective office will be sought absent questions from voters regarding this decision and our case. APA will be questioned as never before.

In 40 years of deliberate behavior designed to crush those born in the park, APA has systematically decimated whole families, villages, industries, and endeavors.

APA has had help. Those interested in the lands of others have motivated APA. These people come wrapped in the cloak of environmentalism - and donate to their proxy charities.

Those charities sponsor APA action shamelessly.

Politicians rewarded with support downstate have rolled on our neighbors with indifference and duplicity.

We now have the blueprint.

Judge Meyer has established new law and fresh expectations.

Read his decision with care.
