The Day in Pictures: A Comedy That Isn't Very Funny

Hi Gina,

Dashing to niece's high school graduation in Saratoga Springs. Skimming the paper just now yielded the following.

Page One of the Albany Times Union had this story:

What a "Catch 22."  The Canal Corp is constitutionally bound to keep the canals dredged to navigable depths (12 feet, though the Champlain is as shallow as 4 feet in spots due to silting-in).  Yet they cannot dredge because there are PCBs in the canal.  GE wont remove them -- without an entire new round of legal wrangling -- because their agreement with the EPA only covered the Hudson River,  The State, the Feds, a canal-bargeload of agencies are all pointing fingers as the silt gets deeper. 

Soooo... is it "Fiddling As Rome Burns" or -- back to the Times Union for the "Super Quiz": "A Comedy of Errors."

This comedy isn't funny

Do we wait for "silt" or assume a leadership stance and act?
