Hudson Valley town opposes Thruway environmental control over crude oil pipeline project

A Hudson Valley town is rejecting a bid by the state Thruway Authority to take control of the environmental review of a controversial crude oil pipeline that would use part of the state Thruway to transport oil from Albany to New Jersey. The New Paltz Town Board also voted late Thursday that since the state Department of Environmental Conservation may be predisposed to let Thruway officials take that control as environmental "lead agency" for the Pilgrim pipeline, then the Ulster County town wants to play the leading role instead.
