This event is a Other Oh Deer!Submitted by Ilene Kaplowitz on Thu, 2007-10-18 17:14.
Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease. Try to say that three times fast. EHD should become a household name in Albany County after the DEC discovered several deer in the area infected with the disease. The disease is passed though biting flies called midges that usually die in the late summer. With the warmer temperatures lately, they have stuck around. DEC: Let's focus on the communitiesSubmitted by Josh Abram on Tue, 2007-06-12 13:59.
The Department of Environmental Conservation focused too much on acquiring land and not enough on the communities around the tracts, the new DEC chief Pete Grannis said. Grannis, speaking to the Association of Adirondack Towns and Villages, said he wanted to help heal the wounds that the previous administration opened in making their purchases. Green Light for Grannis!Submitted by Joshua Klainberg on Sun, 2007-04-01 20:25.

Pete's Draggin'Submitted by Stacy Feldman on Tue, 2007-03-27 17:43.
Yes, Pete Grannis passed the Senate EnCon hurdle this afternoon. He got enough "yes" votes to move him along to the Senate Finance Committee, who we (and everyone else) thought would take up his cause today. Sadly, we were wrong.

Phew. It's been a long time coming, but it looks like New Yorkers may finally have a new DEC commissioner as early as this afternoon, says Capitol Confidential.

Tuesday, "Repete"Submitted by Stacy Feldman on Mon, 2007-03-26 15:00.
Reminder: Round two of the Grannis grilling by the Senate EnCon Committee will take place in Albany on Tuesday, March 27, at 11:00 AM (Hearing Room A/LOB). You'll remember that round one took place a week ago, but mid-hearing something suddenly came up, and the questioning was scrapped for a later date.

Grannis Needs YouSubmitted by Stacy Feldman on Fri, 2007-03-23 11:16.
He needs all the support he can get right now. And we've made it easy for you to let the bigwigs up in Albany know that New York needs a DEC commissioner right now, and that Alexander "Pete Grannis" is highly qualified for the post. Why is this such a big deal?
