Other highlights of the North Haven mayoral debate:
• On the need for better cell service, Reiser said nobody wanted a tower in their backyard. Fiore said WLNG’s plan to replace its aging broadcast tower with a monopole promised better cell signals for North Haven. Diat said it was unlikely the Sag Harbor Village Board would approve a new WLNG tower.
• Reiser promised, if elected, to revisit the summer ban on gas-powered leaf blowers that took effect after it was enacted by the Village Board. Fiore agreed that the ban “is a problem for the residents”; Diat said the law should remain in effect for a year before it’s reconsidered.
• “We may have rushed to judgment on this,” Fiore said of the board’s adoption of a shoreline management code that allows rock revetments to be built on the high bluffs, a step that Reiser said had been “dead wrong.” Diat defended the new law and called Fiore’s rethinking “a cop out.”
