Southampton Village Mayor Jesse Warren is pitting two communities against one another — town versus village — for political gain, and this divisive action must be stopped.
The sewage treatment plant does not belong in a residential area plus agricultural overlay district, where Community Preservation Fund money has already been spent preserving the surrounding agricultural lands.
Our town representatives need to reiterate and make clear to all, especially Mayor Warren, that his lying and bullying is unacceptable. We are many, many more than just “25 people who might be affected by this” [“Watch: Southampton Village 2023 Trustee and Mayoral Debates,” 27east.com, June 1].
We implore town officials to please use our CPF open space money to preserve this parcel; it would be the clearest way to protect this land and prevent it from further dividing our community.
