Quote from: idgobble on April 05, 2020, 06:44:14 PMOut here in the West most people depend on Nat'l Forest and BLM for our activities whether hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, etc. There's one political party that has always advocated privatizing federal lands or turning them over to the states. My state has already sold 40% of the land it was given with statehood. Anyone who enjoys recreation on federal lands should be aware of who advocates selling public land and never vote for them. Most hunters are too stupid to figure that out.

Quote from: Sir-diealot on April 05, 2020, 07:10:25 PMHow did this turn into a discussion about state or federal land?
Quote from: idgobble on April 05, 2020, 07:28:24 PM Paulmyr, You asked, "Why would you have a problem with the fed turning land over to the states? I would think the states would use that land how it best serves the citizens in that state. Pretty sure there is one party that believes in states rights and one party that believes in an over bearing federal govt. It's just some people are too stupid to figure it out."
Quote from: Marc on April 05, 2020, 08:40:01 PMI am no fan of Cuomo or his politics... And, I am not in New York.But... He is taking 20% of "unused" medical supplies (including ventilators). It is my impression, reading the advice of other medical experts that the government is being advised to redistribute medical supplies where they are needed, when they are needed.It is also my impression that nobody in upstate New York is dying due to lack of ventilators, but they are in the Apple. Gotta' be tough to be a doc watching patients die, and having to choose who gets a ventilator and who does not... These are fellow Americans, that did not make the choices or have influence in where or how this infection struck, and people are dying, that might be saved.
Quote from: CAPTJJ on April 05, 2020, 09:14:08 PMThings changed over the weekend and Cuomo walked back on a lot of his initial demands after getting feedback from upstate politicians. Went from seizing to sharing the equipment and as Marc mentioned it is supposed to be 20% of unused supplies, and the National Guard will not be taking anything, though I could see them being used for transportation. Definitely not a fan of him but now is not the time for hyperbole on either side.
QuoteI am cautiously optimistic to announce with my update today......that Governor Cuomo has listened to us and has backed off, FOR NOW, sending the National Guard to take ventilators. He acknowledges that he has heard the concern from upstate and is changing his approach. As of right now, he isn't taking ANY upstate ventilators, and that if he does get need additional ventilators, he will be asking for them NOT taking them.Let me just take an important moment to say how much we love and truly care for all our downstate New Yorkers. We are indeed one state --- we all have friends and families that live downstate, and I encourage people to pray for them daily. I am proud that we have sent loads of PPEs downstate, all while taking COVID 19 patients upstate. We are here to do our part.But also, let me caution everyone to say this is the update as we sit here today. I sent the message to Governor that we appreciate him listening, and we want to keep an open line of communication. Let be clear, my message is, and will still be, that we need ALL of our precious few ventilators to stay in our communities, especially due to our aged population base.There will be one additional point I will be discussing on today's Governor's Office daily conference call. The Governor, today at his press conference, stated he hasn't heard from any communities that have concerns of individuals coming to their second homes to live. This has been something that I have expressed concern about for weeks, and my message has fallen on deaf ears. Today, I will be having additional conversations where I will be even more loudly expressing my major concern with this problem. We HAVE TO stop the flow of downstate residents to their second homes upstate. It's too dangerous and not a smart policy for it to allow to continue.Let me close by saying, I realize there are strong emotions around these issues being discussed. It's life and death. I understand that there are people that don't agree with me. I accept your criticism. I hear your criticism. But I'm doing what I think is best for our community, given all the circumstances after talking with all the individuals concerned. Please continue to provide civil dialogue in the comments. I'm being as honest and transparent as possible to keep everyone updated.Stay safe and healthy!!!
