Southampton Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, Councilman Tommy John Schiavoni, Councilwoman Julie Lofstad, along with Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Legislator Bridget Fleming joined other elected officials and the community in a rally against “Monster Poles” in Eastport and Northampton in Brookhaven and Southampton Towns. The Towns are currently in litigation against PSEG Long Island for installing more than 100 giant poles without input from the community. Calling them a blight on their community, the group is asking the power company to take them down and place them underground.
