The Conservation Commission voted unanimously for an enforcement order that requests Carrick Realty to perform testing of the contents of underground tanks on the Hendries property.

The continuances were granted but not without the commission voicing frustration with both parties for dragging this out.

The following is from Abraham Lincoln’s Cooper Union speech. His call to “duty” is being made to his fellow Republicans, a call to fight the expansion of slavery through their votes.
