Environmentalists back $5B bond act

By Rick Karlin

Albany

A slew of environmentalists on Friday gave an emphatic thumbs up to a proposal for a $5 billion bond act.

But the chances of such an act going to voters next year is up in the air, some privately conceded, until Gov. Andrew Cuomo weighs in on the issue.

The call for a new tax-backed bond came during a hearing before the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee.

Committee Chairman Robert Sweeney, a Long Island Democrat, and western New York GOP Sen. Mark Grisanti have offered legislation that would put such an act before voters in 2014.

Bond Acts sometime never get entirely spent or even used.
