It's not mistrust. It's a lack of belief that they, or you, can do what needs to be done.

It's a decision we made internally that we needed to do. It needs more explaining, but I just feel with respect to everyone involved, it's just better not to.

From the cave of Bethlehem there rises today an urgent appeal to the world not to yield to mistrust, suspicion and discouragement, even though the tragic reality of terrorism feeds uncertainties and fears.

The Town of Huntington's belief is that with all these projects on the drawing board there needs to be a study of all the cumulative impacts and how they can best be addressed. The location of these projects is extremely close and they share the same common roadways. There has to be a cumulative impact. We are not trying to hold up the project. We are trying to foster good planning. Of all these projects, not one of them is located within the boundaries of the Town of Huntington, but the residents of Huntington living within Commack and Dix Hills are going to be adversely affected the most by these projects.

I think this team is dangerous because they believe in each other. When we have that belief we're hard to beat.

When mistrust comes in, love goes out.
