Representative Tom Reed, NY 23rd Congressional District, held a Town Meeting in Dryden, NY on February 2, 2013 at the Village Hall. Dryden's ban on gas drilling was challenged by Anschutz Gas Corporation in September, 2011. In February 2012,Judge Phillip Rumsey ruled in favor of Dryden and against Anschutz and so far Dryden's ban has remained. Hydrofracking was an major issue during elections for supervisor and town council, and the election outcome confirmed a community consensus in support of the ban on gas drilling. So it seems particularly fitting that Congressman Reded chose Dryden for his first town meeting in Tompkins County. Prior to reapportionment, Congressman Reed's district did not include Tompkins County). It is no surprise that hydrofracking was at the top of constituent's concerns. Other issues discussed included the Congressman's positions or gun control, Violence Against Women and the Defense of Marriage Act, Social Security, and hydrilla control among some others.
