It's an eyesore, it will lower my property value, and it's bad for the environment. It will have a huge negative impact on me and my family. - Neil and Jean Spadaro, Campbell Hall, NY  
How can they put something like this in? How can they do this to the people that live here without their permission? It's not right. It will ruin the landscape and lower our property value. We don't want our taxes to go up. - James and Jean Toher, Campbell Hall, NY

We have a hayride in the fall with our pumpkin patch and animals to enjoy nice foliage and country view. (The Power Lines) would be along the entire ride for people - not so picturesque. It would ruin the entire atmosphere of our farm and agri-toursim business and be an detriment to our own countryside that we worked so hard on to keep pretty. - Pierson Farms, Otisville, NY  
Shoddy Hollow Road, Otisville, NY
There will be a negative impact on my health, safety and property value. The scenic beauty of the neighborhood will be ruined. I would no want to live here anymore. - JonPaul & Katarzyna Heurich, Middletown NY
