On Friday, June 12th, 2026, I, in my capacity as the president of the American Land Rescue Fund with the Town of Glen, New York, filed a lawsuit against the Office of Renewable Energy Siting over the legality of the RAPID Act implementing regulations.
This is now bigger than Fort Edward.
I promise that we are doing everything we can to spare every single town in New York State that has, against its will, been sited as a location for a solar or wind complex.
This lawsuit does just that.
The petition argues violations of SAPA rulemaking requirements, SEQRA environmental review requirements, procedural due process in the adoption process, and the validity of 16 NYCRR Parts 1100, 1101, and 1102 as adopted regulations.
This case is about transparency, public participation, environmental review, and the rule of law.
Without our home rule and the ability to call out our state government for overriding environmental regulations, we have no rule of law in New York State.
It's time to get our home rule back.
This is a 75-page monster of a petition that our genius attorney put together. It's bold, aggressive, and exactly what's needed if we stand a chance at taking these authoritarian agencies on in court.
There is much more to come. Linking to the petition below.
