“The same Joe Percoco that accepted dirty money to get his wife a cushy job, took back-room bribes to secure deals for his developer buddies, bullied and harassed his way through Albany for decades, led scorched-earth campaigns against Cuomo opponents, and weaseled his way out of lockup two years early is now looking to the U.S. Supreme Court for help.

“The Hudson Valley hasn’t forgotten about the corrupt pressure Percoco put on the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation to improperly advance the CPV power plant’s application – a facility that continues to operate to this day without appropriate permits and without a full reexamination of the discredited approval process. 

“I am once again renewing my call for the Governor to cease the plant’s operations immediately and conduct a full review of every single permit the plant has received from the state. We already know the limb is rotten – it’s time to cut it off.”
