“I wholeheartedly support the Town of East Hampton’s decision to appeal the recent United States Court of Appeals decision which granted a preliminary injunction against three local laws enacted by the Town of East Hampton designed to protect the health and safety of its residents.

The Town must appeal this decision which erodes the very concept of home rule. East Hampton should not have to ask permission of the FAA to undertake the most basic function of government: the protection of public health and safety.”
