The recent creation of the sagamorecrossing.com website by Green Meadow Inc. is clearly an attempt to counter the information presented by Hudson residents and community groups such as "Friends of Green Meadows" and "HudsonGrassrootsCentral"
We welcome such an opportunity to debate.
The presentation of different views is healthy for the community.
It allows residents to see both sides of the issue and evaluate which cause is in their best interest. We think our efforts best meet that standard and for good reason.
The SagamoreCrossing.com website exists solely for the purpose of expanding wealth opportunity for a limited group of absentee property owners. Hence, it is in the interests of Green Meadow Inc. to provide only that information which achieves this purpose and to suppress that which does not.
SaveHudson.com provides us with the opportunity to expose
disinformation that is contrary to the interests of Hudson residents.
Below are claims made by Green Meadow Inc. on the "What you might hear" section of their website (SagamoreCrossing.com/wymh.html) followed by our responses and supporting facts.
Such knowledge might prove useful should current fears become reality:
