From the residents and voters of the East End:
We do not need more luxury developments.
We do not need more mega-mansions.
We do not need more automobile and truck traffic.
We do not need more sewage and fertilizer pollution in our waters.
We do not need more noisy aircraft.
We we do need is some peace and quiet.
What we do need is to value our historic homes and vistas.
What we do need is to restore our polluted waters.
What we do need is to save our modest homes.
What we do need is to protect our aquifer.
But what we need most of all are for our town government boards to hear and understand our needs, to strengthen and enforce our town codes and to resist the threats from big money and its lawsuits.
