    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The Buffalo News <a href="http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2008/07/09/3537781.htm">reports</a> that Senator Chuck Schumer is the last-chance Texaco for full funding of the West Valley Demonstration Project cleanup.  West Valley is an abandoned, contaminated nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in Cattaraugus County.   The House Appropriations Committee has allocated $23 million less than the amount requested by Randy Kuhl.</p>
<p>The Massa campaign <a href="http://massaforcongress.com/contentdetail.asp?contentid=8538">says</a> that they've filed petitions containing 7,209 signatures, up over 1,000 from 2006.   As <a href="http://www.fighting29th.com/2008/07/petition-report.html">reported here earlier</a>, Yates County contributed over 1,000 of those signatures.  A little over 3,000 people voted for Massa in Yates County in 2006, so it's fair to say the Yates County Democrats are energized.</p>
