To: Ghent Planning Board

A recent court ruling which forces the Ghent Planning Board to issue permits to Ginsberg's Foods~overturning your decision~is an injustice.

We hope the Planning Board will appeal the judge's incorrect ruling, to protect the integrity of the Ghent Zoning Code and sound planning decisions in our County.

We also urge the Ghent Town Board to support this appeal.

Furthermore, in light of the recent State investigation into conflicts of interest in the Ginsberg project, we call upon Columbia County officials to institute meaningful reforms to insure open and fair practices in public funding of local economic development projects.

Sincerely,
