Members of the Committee to Stop Airport Expansion, who have been fighting to prevent East Hampton Town from accepting Federal Aviation Administration funds to build a deer fence at the airport, had their request for a temporary restraining order rejected in court for a third time, according to a statement from the East Hampton Aviation Association last week.

Justice Peter B. Skelos, of the New York State Appellate Division, 2nd Department, rejected committee member David Gruber’s third request in three months for a temporary restraining order against the town after an hour-long hearing in Mineola. The first time Mr. Gruber sought to enjoin the town from accepting the funds was in December. He tried for the second time last week, according to the statement.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same... more

And may these good citizencontinutinbg to block the special avialtion interest represented by Levy and others. keep doing so. To accept funds from the FAA will lock the town into airport expansion that will end the serenity of the East End for at leat 20 years. It will bring an end to the reason peole flock to the hamptons--to enjoy the peace and quiet they cnanot find in the city.

Absolute nonsense. There is no requirement for expansion, doomsday scenario or not. Your voice gets more quiet the farther you get from reality.

Frankly, our court of appeals 1-3 Dept. is a pathetic bunch of political patrons. Who cares how many claims Justice Skelos has to hear? That is what he is paid for.

Is Gruber also a non-practicing attorney like the other guy that wastes so much of the Town's time and money?
