Residents of Eastport and surrounding communities will gather Wednesday, June 27, at 6:30 p.m. opposite Eastport's PSEG's substation at the corner of Eastport Manor Road and the Montauk Highway. Committed speakers include Assemblyman Fred Thiele, Suffolk County Legislators Al Krupski and Bridget Fleming, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine, and Brookhaven Councilman Dan Panico. Several Southampton Town Board members are expected as well. We are waiting to hear from Senator LaValle. The rally will demonstrate publicly the concerns, resolve and commitment of the local communities to have the Monster Poles removed. It will show support for the Towns of Southampton and Brookhaven bringing to a successful completion the legal proceedings against PSEG LI and LIPA, which the Suffolk County Legislature recently voted to support. The event is being sponsored by local civic organizations: the East Moriches Property Owners Association, the Eastport Green Project, and the Moriches Bay Civic Association. PSEG has a pattern of planning projects that will impact communities, barely giving notice of them, skirting environmental protections, and rapidly completing projects before local officials and residents know what is happening and can respond. The current problem directly affects the communities of Eastport, East Moriches, Center Moriches, Riverside, Speonk and Remsenburg, but PSEG is planning projects for other areas. ALL Suffolk County residents should be concerned about the same thing happening to them and support the protest. Parking will be available on in the grass field at the corner of the Montauk Highway and Union Avenue. Enter the field opposite the Eastport Firehouse at 21 Union Ave.
