Summary
The Junius Town Board passed a resolution supporting Congressman Nick Langworthy’s Energy Choice Act (H.R. 3699, S. 1945) and opposing government-mandated natural gas bans; the motion passed unanimously on Oct. 15, 2025.
Supervisor Ernie Brownell presented a resolution for the board to express support for Congressman Nick Langworthy’s Energy Choice Act (H.R. 3699, S. 1945) and to record opposition to government-mandated natural gas bans. Councilman Kyle Black moved to support the Energy Choice Act; Councilman Rick Wadhams seconded the motion and the board voted 5–0 to adopt the resolution.
The minutes record the board's position but do not include a copy of the resolution text or any analysis of local implications for energy policy, utility regulation or building codes. The resolution is a formal expression of the board's policy preference and does not itself change town regulations.
The board's vote documents member support for the federal bill and opposition to local or state measures that would mandate natural gas bans, but implementation of any federal or state policy would require higher-level action beyond the town board's authority.
