אלייענס פארלאנגט מחילה פון רעקארד

Pinkus, Kiryas Joel: While your paper has prominently covered the positions and actions of the parties involved in the Pipeline issue, it has widely overlooked the presence of a very different position held by the masses in Kiryas Joel who resent the confrontational and inconsiderate approach taken by Village Officials, and are greatly dismayed when some are trying to cast horrendous accusations on anyone who opposes the Pipeline. Is the paper aware of that?

Chris McKenna: The Record is aware that some Kiryas Joel residents are critical of what they see as an overly aggressive approach on the pipeline issue and in relations with neighbors. The Kiryas Joel Alliance, the opposition party in the village, has been advocating a more conciliatory approach with the neighboring communities, saying that keeping good relations are as important as solving the water and housing needs at the center of the dispute. But it's unclear for now how many people share that view and what concrete alternatives the opposition would offer.
