Huntington Citizens for Clean Water, Open Space and Parks, a coalition of representatives from environmental groups throughout Long Island, urged support for the Town of Huntington's Open Space Bond Initiative on the November 4, ballot during a press conference on Monday, October 27, at Veterans Park Complex in East Northport.  Huntington Town Supervisor Frank P. Petrone and Town Board members Mark Cuthbertson, Susan Berland, Stuart Besen and Glenda Jackson (who was unable to attend), thanked Richard Amper from the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, Lisa Ott, North Shore Land Alliance, Maureen Dolan Murphy, Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Neal Lewis, Neighbor Network, George Hoffman, League of Conservation Voters, representatives from the Nature Conservancy and Friends of the Bay for their support.

The bond measure is Proposition Two and will appear at the top of the ballot, above the candidates.
