The College of Staten was a great place to learn and grow as a young man.
I am a proud graduate of CSI.

If the early birds are getting the worms, the late flying bats must be gets the bugs.

@mikeschnall @Sherrise_P @NY4P On the 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy SI’s congresswoman announced a $48 million project to dredge navigable waters beside wetlands for the development of hard surface manufacturing.

Greeting another beautiful day with the early birds.

@OstapiukJ Why should the development of a foot print for the construction of offshore wind turbines be allowed to destroy Staten Island wetlands? Environmental law is as legally binding as labor law.

[Cliff Hagen @sibirding]

@CommunityOSW Except when developing a footprint for the construction of offshore wind turbines?
Staten Island wetlands should not be destroyed to allow for turbine construction.

Best thing I’ve read all day. “Adversity doesn’t create character, adversity reveals character. When the hard times come, when your convictions are tested, you will be in that moment the man or woman you had been preparing to be on every quiet day before.”
