PSEG: Please Stop Environmental Grievance

Well, this is the latest insult from PSEG: They will be spending 6 weeks to masacre the rest of the trees along the 'Power Route Scandal'. In a letter from PSEG, dated March 12, 2014:
  " Do you know that approximately one-third of electric service
interruptions on Long Island are caused by trees and branches coming in
contact with the electric wires
That's why PSEGLI's Line Clearance Contractors will be in your
neighborhood during the week of May 1, 2014, to clear tree branches away
from the electric wires. The work will take about 6 week(s) to complete."     


Are you kidding? This is in their letter!!! This is so crazy!Then, Why are we stringing these overhead ?Are you really going to allow them to cut more through our neighborhoods? All I hear is talk , there is no action. Writing a letter and putting on a show, like at the town hall, was all for media purposes was a sound bite that you are on the side of the citizens. However, this is not true, actions speak louder than words.  The officials can say you are trying but they are not doing anything. Don't tell me they can't.  They can stop work for any job, if the town believes any job is near wetlands, or if the building that is being built by a citizen is not the work that was laid out in their plans, they can stop the work. If this stop work costs PSEG money, that's fine, they purposely misled, purposely hired a private company, so that their 'hands would be tied'. This legal battle of blue collar neighborhood vs BIG Business, is one that is being allowed to happen. This is not happening in other parts of East Hampton, many neighborhoods are having these wires buried today.  Why are we being penalized?  Please don't ever shut down this road again for halloween, don't ask anyone along this route for any votes, don't ask anyone that you have turned your backs on, for anything. Don't insult us by saying that you are doing something, without anything happening. Obviously, overhead wires are not as safe as touted, because by their own admission, one third of outages are from trees! Maybe we could remove every tree in east hampton so that they won't get in the way, does this sound reasonable?  Maybe if this was in front of your house, or in front of a wealthy person, things would be different. This discrimination of the blue collar working man of this town, who  have been sold up the river. I suppose denuding our property, placing tower like poles within feet from our doorsteps and bedrooms, we are living under high tension wires is not a big deal for you. Yet some man's house will be demolished by the town because it is an "eyesore" as reported last week! You will buy remote properties for millions of dollars to 'preserve the nature of our community' this is HYPOCRISY!!!  The people of this community should understand what is really going on, special interests,environmental conservation-only when convenient, spending money in the name of preservation-yet stripping a 6 mile airstrip through the center of the town, not a problem.
This is a plea to our officials: STOP THE PROJECT TODAY.
