These have already circulated for a while in paper, but you can now read (and sign) A Petition to the Dryden Town Board to Restore Home Rule and Petition for a Town of Dryden Industrial Noise Ordinance online.
The first petition is about restoring control over mining and drilling operations to local municipalities - I believe the state took that over in the 1990s. The second petition asks that the Town "enact an ordinance to regulate noise associated with industrial activities".
Definitely include your mailing address in the Comments box - this is only meant for residents of the Town of Dryden. (Remember, that includes the Villages of Dryden and Freeville, and stretches of the Ithaca, Groton, Cortland, and Lansing zip codes.)
