When we were finally made aware of the cell tower scheme, I provided a full cell tower research paper on more efficient alternatives to those God-awful monstrosities to the entire community (free of charge).
As a year-round resident of 27 Stock Farm Lane, and as an American, I find Terie Diat’s insider scheme completely reprehensible. There was no formal review or request for proposals ever undertaken, nor did she share any environmental or safety reviews. She cut a “side deal” with someone local? What about that as a direct conflict of interest? All she was interested in was a stealth process to sneak this tower in no matter what the cost in safety, environmental damage (irreversible) or the overall efficacy.
And Terie is trying to position/sell herself as transparent and only concerned for the local residents of North Haven?
Give me a break.
