The authors of this blog are all city of Syracuse residents, and as such, there are definitely issues in our region we're a little out of touch with – mostly, obviously, issues that don't come into play in the city proper. One of those issues is the New York Regional Interconnect (NYRI), a proposed high-voltage power line that would run from Orange County to Oneida County. Of course, the purpose would be to benefit New York City.

There has been an amazing amount of organizing regionally against the project. NYCO has been blogging about NYRI since the proposal first was made public. Read NYCO's coverage here.
