Finding a Story

So the story I was originally going to cover was about the NYPA and their agreement to bring hydropower to residents. I went to a meeting at City Hall at 11 a.m and put my tape recorder on the front desk in order to get good sound. However while I was sitting there, I didn't really understand what was going on or what everyone was talking about, so I decided that since it was a difficult story to comprehend, that I wouldn't be able to write a good wrap worth listening to. I headed out and my producer told me to try to get SOTs of people talking about DestiNY USA's Green Hotel. I spoke to a few people about this but none of them had any idea about the hotel. While I was finding people to talk to I saw a man who was in the NYPA meeting earlier and decided to go talk to him and see if he could tell me what the meeting was about. He ended up doing a really good job of explaining the meeting and what hydropower for residents means.From his perspective, the perspective of a business owner, this seems like a bad idea. He thinks that hydropower ought to be available only to large manufacturers and thinks it is the responsibility of the government to supply residents with power. He thinks by giving residents the chance to get hydropower we are not doing what is best for economic growth.
