Sierra Club Endorses Dyster |
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE USESeptember 16, 2007 Dyster Endorsed by Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter
(Buffalo, NY) Dr. Joseph Gardella, chairman of the Political Committee of the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter , announced today that the Chapter has endorsed the candidacy of Paul Dyster for Mayor of the City of Niagara Falls. Gardella, an often-quoted expert on toxic waste, is a Chemistry Professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
“I am particularly proud of this endorsement because it shows that the statewide Sierra Club organization understands the importance of the great natural resource we have here in Niagara Falls, and the importance of protecting it for future generations,” said Dyster. “I am also thrilled to have the endorsement of an organization that worked to create the Apollo Alliance plan for New York State , which has been endorsed by my campaign as well as the United Steelworkers and New York State United Teachers.” The plan calls for creation of new “green collar” jobs through investment in construction and retrofitting of high performance buildings, and updated codes and standards. It also calls for additional investment in renewable energy, alternative transportation and urban open spaces.
The Sierra Club is a non-profit, member-supported, public interest organization that promotes conservation of the natural environment through public education and lobbying. Grassroots advocacy has made The Sierra Club America's most influential environmental organization. Founded in 1892, the Club is now more than 700,000 members strong. The Atlantic Chapter, which counts 45,000 members, applies the principles of the national Sierra Club to the environmental issues facing New York State. The Chapter's Executive Committee, conservation committees and member volunteers work to affect governmental and community actions regarding those issues.

 Is Niagara Falls Politics Giving You the Blues?
Blues, jazz and other American "roots" music can help Niagara Falls shake the cobwebs off of our downtown business districts... This is our indigenous music, culture, and tradition--and neither the Canadians nor the casino can take it away from us! Other cities have made music entertainment the focus of downtown revialization, and it can work for us on 3rd Street and Main Street. At the 7th Annual Niagara Falls Blues Festival, Paul picked up an important endorsement: Mark Wenner , singer and harp player for the legendary Nighthawks, one of Paul's favorite blues bands for... well, for a long time! Thanks to Toby Rotella for creating this great event! |
