Clinton Outlines Greenprint

Program First of its Kind in Nation

Senator Clinton was in town today carpetbagging her way across the country. While in East Rochester, she highlighted the Greenprint program which is the first in the country to be announced.

This is not an anti-environmentalist wacko post (we like the environment and we like wackos), or even an anti-Hillary post. Rather, there was one section of the D&C's article about Clinton's visit that we found alarming:

"The steps include adopting USGBC Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards for public buildings, achieving LEED certification for Renaissance Square . . ."

Did I miss something? Is Renaissance Square a forgone conclusion despite the lack of widespread public support by taxpayers who will foot the bill for the project? Does a new-era environmental program really tie-in with a proposed bus terminal centered around the use of antiquated fossil fuels?

If someone can catch us up please feel free to leave your comments.
