Very sloppy, RUPCO.
Two nights ago, RUPCO announced and read an official amendment to its submitted FEIS, which indicated that the name Woodstock Commons Limited Partnership is changed in the FEIS and DEIS to another name that is owned by RUPCO, not by yours truly.
Fair enough.
Later in the evening, the Woodstock Planning Board voted to accept this submitted FEIS. That was two days ago, and one business day ago.
However, RUPCO still features, right on its website, the Draft EIS, which has not been amended, and which still contains the name "Woodstock Commons Limited Partnership," which is owned by me, along with my partner.
Take a look, it's right here:
http://rupco.org/wc_deis/DEIS%20Chapter-02.pdf
When you pull up this document, check out section 2.5.2, which is page 195 of the DEIS document (but not page 195 of the pdf document.) You will see the name, illegally used by a now clued in RUPCO.
Now, I know that RUPCO claims that they didn't know they couldn't use that name before. But now they really should be aware of it, don't you think? Are you alarmed at RUPCO's sloppiness, at their thumbing their noses at the law? I am very alarmed.
If the spirit moves you, and I hope it will, please shoot RUPCO an email asking them why oh why they still think it is OK to feature claim to this name on their website, both because this name is owned by somebody other than them (and that other somebody minds very very much,) and also because two nights ago in the final version of the EIS, which was voted in, they claimed to have amended the name in the document that obviously has not been amended at all. A lie? More forgetfulness? I see a pattern of, at best, tremendous sloppiness or arrogance. Sloppiness and arrogance are not adequate defense for illegal use of my name.
Please let RUPCO's executive director, Kevin O'Connor, know what you think of this unprofessional, sloppy, and illegal behavior. You can reach him here:

You are an idiot. Once a DEIS is ac cepted as complete by the lead agency and circulated to interested agencies, the DEIS cannot be revised.
ReplyDeleteWhat credentials does one need to call a highly educated person a foul name publicly?
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous: I am not an idiot, but I agree with you about not being able to revise the DEIS. That is why RUPCO's statement that the DEIS has been amended is so ridiculous. I am only holding RUPCO to their word in the FEIS. How can they have claimed to amend something that has been accepted? They are the idiots. I am just trying to hold them to their word.
ReplyDeleteTo PALrose: In order to claim any credentials for any purpose, you need to drop the anonymity. Credentials cannot be assigned to a nonentity. And to call anybody any negative name publicly behind the vail of anonymity makes you a coward, whether the name is foul or clean.
ReplyDeleteI was misunderstood or didn't explain myself well. Robin is one of the brightest, highly educated people I know. Her undergad degree from Brown, multiple master's degrees and a doctorate plus her diligent work ethic and high integrity qualify her to her to express her feelings and interpretations. Let's drop the name calling.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that the defective DEIS can not be rescinded? If that's the case than please refer to a dictionary because a draft document may not be circulated to anyone before it matures into a "final document." "...Once a DEIS is accepted as complete by the lead agency and circulated to interested agencies, the DEIS cannot be revised." Could you elaborate on which agencies you refer to? According to the spatial planning process draft preceeds final, and final is the end product. The Town of Woodstock Planning Board is the lead agency in the process that upon adoption of the DEIS to FEIS than refers the matter to the Town Board. Representaive government often gets in the way of quick profit, and is a drag, but that's the way it is.
