Statement of the Adirondack
Council on the
Passage of Ballot Proposal #1
Constitutional Amendment for Raquette Lake Water Supply
“We are extremely pleased
with the overwhelmingly positive response that voters gave to
the residents of Raquette Lake,” said Adirondack Council
Executive Director Brian L. Houseal. “With nearly 98 percent
of precincts now reporting, we still stand at 71% support for
the amendment, with only 29% opposed.”
“The Adirondack Council
looks forward to continuing our working relationship with local
government officials to complete the land exchange as soon as
possible,” continue Houseal. “We thank all New Yorkers
for aiding a small hamlet and increasing the size of the Forest
Preserve at the same time.”
