NEVER TAKE CRAP TO THE DUMP AGAIN

Just four weeks after East Hampton moved in with workers and cleaned up the messy yard of Rian White in Springs, they have struck again. This time, the yard in question is owned by Thomas Ferreira, of Industrial Road in Montauk. Littered with old automobiles, outboard motors, car parts, tires, old boats and construction debris, neighbors complained and last Monday the trucks showed up at the property at about 7:30 in the morning, went onto the property and cleaned it up.

A man's home is supposed to be his castle. Laws are very strict about not doing this. But under certain circumstances, it can be done, and in both the White case and this case it was.

The McGintee administration in East Hampton has a history of creating departments where none existed before, staffing it with freshly hired employees in shiny new uniforms, renting office space and buying brand new equipment for it, all at great expense.

It suggests that in the future here in East Hampton, you may never have to go to the dump again. Just throw the crap out onto the lawn. Neighbors will complain, the alarms will sound and this whole crew will race over and take away your crap.
