He will lead the Friends of Erin St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday, March 24, kicking off at 11:30 a.m. Mr. Ryan has been an attorney in Montauk since the mid-1970s, and he’s been selected for his more than 30 years of local contributions and public service to the community.
• Legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Fred Thiele and State Senator Ken LaValle mandating formal community notice of electric utility transmission projects by LIPA and PSEG-LI has been signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo. The bill was introduced in response to controversies created by LIPA and PSEG-LI in East Hampton and Eastport by the utilities’ failure to adequately notify public officials and affected residents about pending electric transmission projects. Each project ended up in litigation. Under the new law, notice must be provided by first class mail to every county, town, village, or city in which the project is to be located; every utility customer within 500 feet of the proposed transmission project; and to the members of the state legislature representing the areas affected by the project.
• The first in a four-part series of sessions titled “Diving into Drawdown,” about bringing our community together to explore global warming solutions presented in Paul Hawken’s Project Drawdown, will be held this morning at 10:15 a.m. at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton. More details are online here.
