Scott Waldman is reporting at Capital New York nine municipalities along the Hudson River held a candlelight vigil Thu., Jul. 23, to put pressure on General Electric and Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to remove more pollutants from the river. Vigils were held in Beacon, Newburgh, New York City, Mechanicville, Schuylerville, Ossining, Kingston, Coeymans and Nyack. Officials from the communities conducting the vigil said GE is leaving behind millions of pounds of heavily tainted sediment. More than 70 communities on the river have passed resolutions calling on GE to conduct a more extensive cleanup. The company is completing a six-year dredging of the Hudson River for PCBs it dumped there for decades. Under an agreement with the federal government, General Electric consented to dredge PCBs from the river along a 40-mile stretch from Troy to Fort Edward. Read the full story at Capital New York.
