Continued - Supervisor Continued from page A7 going to tax the infrastructure everywhere.\ He claims that Smithtown Town did not properly notify Huntington about the project. \They handed us insuffi- cient paperwork.\ he said. \We didn't even know what the extent of the project was.\ Binder begged to differ. He sard, \The deputy super- visor is on the Suffolk County Planning Commission. To clam afterward that they didn't know is a joke.\ Although preparation of the Commack site for con- struction is going forward, Binder said, \We're going to continue the lawsuits with whatever resources we have and do everything we can to stop it,\ citing high traffic volume as his primary concern. What Binder would rather see in that spot is afford- able housing. \The fact is. we need affordable housing. We don't need to preserve it for its vegetation, because that's gone. \He is also pushing to stop the Orchard Park retail and apartment complex plan proposal for Elwood. Binder has noted intent to get town board meetings televised. to which Petrone expressed no opposition. Petrone said that with its Cablevision project in place, the town may have the opportunity for two access chan- nels. and by the end of the year, he said, he aims to explore programming options in concert with educa- tional facilities and community groups. Binder has been the only local legislator not to come out against Broadwater's proposal to bring a liquified natural gas terminal to the Long Island Sound. He said he's neither for or against the project. but wants to learn more about its pros and cons. \I am absolutely riled, particularly by my Republican edl- leagues, to knee-jerk on these things,\ he said. \This|is brand new. No one knows what this is.

Environmentally, it's a question mark. 1 would say right from the start that they need to re-power the Northport plant and make it 100 percent gas powered. If we can get gas delivered and make it a clean-burning plant, then we have a responsibility to see that happen. We should never be cutting off knowledge.\ Town board Continued from page A9 During her administration, she said, she participated in the first independent audit of the town's finances; implemented new procedures and professional staff to properly manage town finances: created a fully certified planning department in town for the first time; launched the first town-wide recycling program:; and closed the landfill in East Northport. Professionally, Rettaliata-Tepe served as director of human resources of Suffolk Regional Off-Track Betting. where she was in charge of managing and over- seeing more than 400 employees. When asked what inspired her to seek a town board seat, she said,. \due to the lack of comprehensive master plan and overdevelopment, the town's spending and tax- ing. and because people feel that they're not being lis- tened to.\ She chose to run now, she said, because she now has the time, having retired this year. Regarding the need for planned development. she said,\We haven't had a comprehensive master plan since 1993, and we continue to develop without any plan in place and without any concern as to how we're going to maintain our infrastructure.\ She proposed making government more \open\ by televising board meetings and hiring a central freedom of information officer. Rettaliata-Tepe said she is opposed to many of the big box developments proposed for the area. as well as the hiring hall for day laborers that is in Huntington Station. \It's one of the most destructive things that will happen in terms of revitaliz- ing Huntington Station.\ she said. \You've given the slum lords a reason to continue to stay in business,\ She's also concerned about making Huntington a mag- net for illegal immigrants. thereby \depriving the indi- viduals who are working and saving and paying their taxes.\ she said. The candidate added that the town doesn't have enough code enforcers to properly address the illegal housing problem. Rettaliata-Tepe lives with her husband. Phil. She has three stepchildren. Continued from page All year. \I see it as a supplement to boots on the ground. | but it won't take the place of uniformed officers.\ he said. Gargano said, \We're not doing enough to combat the gang problem. Ten to 15 percent of the population behind bars is gang-related and the corrections officers are doing everything they can to keep these guys from killing each other and themselves. We need more infor- mation sharing, more technology and more police.\ Gargano is interested in organizing the community in the crime-fighting effort. \The more the community is organized and they're looking out for things, the less criminals have the ability to rob them. We need to more effectively be able to communicate with other county agencies, groups. houses of worship and the district attorney's office to keep potential criminals away from doing what they're doing. We have to be more orga- nized, elected officials have to be more part of that.\ For instance, bike patrols and improved wireless communi- cations would enable police to do better jobs. sow w e k w
