Huntington Town Supervisor Frank P. Petrone, Councilman Mark Cuthbertson, Councilwoman Susan Berland, Councilman Stuart Besen and Councilwoman Glenda Jackson, who couldn't make it but was there in spirit, were joined by a broad representation of environmental groups at a Press Conference today, to kick off a campaign for Huntington's proposed bond renewal. A public referendum on the November 4, ballot, calls for a renewal of the $15 million bond first overwhelmingly approved by voters in 1998. Speaking in support of the bond were Lisa Ott, North Shore Land Alliance, Maureen Dolan Murphy, Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Richard Amper, Long Island Pine Barrens Society, and Kevin McDonald, League of Conservation Voters. Joy Squires, Chair of the Town's Open Space Environmental and Parks Committee and some of its members, representatives from Vision Long Island and the Huntington Farmlands Association waved signs in support. The event was held at Breezy Park in Huntington, formerly the Mohlenhoff Nursery which was preserved through the Town's open space acquisition program.
