To anyone following the mayoral race in North Haven, the Express reported this passage from the Zoom debate last week regarding the merits of erecting a cell tower in our village:
“On the need for better cell service, [Jack] Reiser said nobody wanted a tower in their backyard. [Chris] Fiore said WLNG’s plan to replace its aging broadcast tower with a monopole promised better cell signals for North Haven. [Terie] Diat said it was unlikely the Sag Harbor Village Board would approve a new WLNG tower.”
Mr. Reiser’s comment highlighted what I hope we all believe: Unless a suitable location can be found that won’t degrade our quality of life, then we shouldn’t be moving forward. Mr. Fiore sensibly suggested that taking a wait-and-see approach to the possibility of a WLNG location could likely solve our problem here in North Haven.
For me, it all comes down to character and integrity. Either you have it or you don’t.
