East Hampton Town Board

In a scene some painted as just another example of government running roughshod over the desires of the citizenry, the East Hampton Town Board, with one abstention and over the furious objection of some residents, voted last Thursday to authorize the restoration of signs welcoming motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians to Springs.

East Hampton Town's emergency generators will be used to offset high demand for electricity on the South Fork. Officials agreed to a deal with PSEG-Long Island on Tuesday.
