This Morning’s Bulletin — 6.2.14

Good Morning!

• A group of homeowners and businesses out in East Hampton filed a class lawsuit last Thursday against PSEG Long Island and LIPA over the ongoing installation of a new transmission line down a series of back roads between East Hampton Village and Amagansett. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief, including the undergrounding or rerouting of the transmission lines, and a fair allocation of the costs between the ratepayers and the stockholders of PSEG LI’s parent New Jersey holding company.

• The Suffolk County Legislature is expected to vote on a bill tomorrow, sponsored by South Fork Legislator Jay Schneiderman, that would prohibit the sale of dogs from puppy mills in Suffolk County.
