After weeks of debate, the Westhampton Beach Village Trustees have granted outdoor dining and music permits to the Beach Bakery on Main Street with the stipulation that owner Simon Jorna must meet with the village Planning Board later this week to again discuss his future expansion plans.

At last Thursday night’s meeting, a public hearing was opened regarding the proposed permits after Mr. Jorna failed to file a completed application with the Westhampton Beach Planning Board for renovations to his business that would fix outstanding violations to the building. One year ago, Mr. Jorna was told he would not receive outdoor dining and music permits for the 2012 summer season if he did not have permits authorized by May 1, 2012, to complete the renovation unless he could provide a valid... more

This is news !!! It was voted on by the Mayor and all the Trustees unanimously to hire Special Counsel at 190.00 an hour for an Ice Cream Cone Sculpture that the Judge had already dismissed. I am a taxpayer so my taxes are technically paying for the village to fight this. Why ? Ask Why ?

That's WHB Politics at its finest! Go after the merchants that bring business to main street but allow other organizations and people to break town codes and force things on the community. Its probably because you dared to challenge the establishment and you ran for office.

Ms. Richman paying taxes for her own prosecution is like a rower tipping the whipper on a slave ship.

Although Elyse clearly breaks the rules and is notoriously arrogant and obnoxious, wasting tax payer money to punish her after the judge's ruling is idiotic.

Bo Bishop, the attorney representing the Village in the appeal is Mayor Tellers Cousin. Bo's practice would be unable to pay the rent if it wasn't for the money the Village piles his way.

This situation is an outrageous example of petty bureaucratic vindictiveness. The Board is throwing away our tax dollars. $190.00 an hour to appeal a code violation that doesn't even exist??? There should be an investigation of how much Mr. Bishop had been paid to go to the Village Justice Court instead of the Village Attorney. This is just a way to throw Village $$$ to the Mayor's cousin. Maybe the new Trustee candidates should look into this. I wish them luck. After six years of the current administration ...more

Update : The case continues in The Appellate Term in Brooklyn, the village of WHB has spent over 8000.00 from April- Sept on Legal fees to appeal the case of the Ice Cream Cone.
The fine if found guilty could have only been 350.00 ? But the case was dismissed before trial in the Justice Court of WHB on April 11, 2012
Stay tuned..................
