The message is clear and simple. New Yorkers have a constitutionally protected right to a clean and healthy environment. Governor Hochul and Attorney General James should embrace it.“Unfortunately, our government officials have been letting us down,” van Rossum said. “They have not been embracing the opportunity or the obligation. In fact, they have been seeking to diminish it, to say it doesn’t change anything.“The government is in court right now saying that it is up to their discretion — meaning their choice — to decide how, when, to what degree, where or even if they should enforce New York state law.”insideclimatenews.org/news/15072024/new-york-climate-activists-march-for-green-amendment/#nygreenamendment #GreenAmendment #EnvironmentalRights #ConstitutionalRights ...
