JCIDA's game of chicken

Watertown Daily Times JCIDA's game of chicken


THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 2010
The Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency has decided to play a game of political chicken with the county Legislature, essentially refusing to consider any of the requests made by legislators who are unhappy with JCIDA’s proposed Galloo Island Wind Farm payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement.

Members of the agency might want to hope this doesn’t turn into a game of Russian roulette. It’s a certainty, in a showdown between JCIDA and the Legislature, that the chamber with the bullet in it is pointed at the agency’s head.
