Why should the Catskills suffer a lack of econmomic development because NYC polluted their water?

Very good interview with all of these people. Great way to tell the New York City people where their water comes from. We need to make people aware of these three reserviors that service NYC's water sheds - Croton, Ashokan, and Pepecton Reservoirs.
