An island was never meant to last forever, especially one that was way over-developed and had natural bodies of fresh water destroyed and turn into wastewater sumps, and wildlife decimated... not to mention all the other environmental damage that was done to that island during the 1950s, 60s, 70s and beyond. It started around the 1950s and 60s... that's when most of the environmental damage was done. Politicians and real estate developers made a fortune during that time when they destroyed just about every natural kettle pond on the island. They preserved very little for the future generations... hardly any of the beautiful farms left. The vast building along the shoreline has contributed to beach erosion. The island is nothing like it once was. It's sinking.
Those rich people in Brookhaven dont need 10-s of millions of dollars to fix a dam that was over run by a pond. Y’all wealthy as fuc out there. Let’s get those millions in other parts of Long Island where it’s really needed.
Wow, that’s terrible. I know the area well, it’s so quaint and beautiful, at least, it was. Not many systems can handle a sudden foot of water dumped on them.
So, they dammed up a creek to create a huge pond and it washed out the concrete reinforcement and the road. Sounds like you need a bridge over a creek!
The county was Democrat for the last 12 years until Nov 2023 ... guess they weren't real big on investing in infrastructure during that time (pretty sure they collected taxes for it)
Yeah because ther was too much socialist TRASH in the bill the Democrats stuffed in there. Go check it out, and not on Jimmy Kimmel or the View or MSNBC
When that happened in our state there was little or no news we had 3 lakes leave their banks going down the rivers taking some 25 homes and businesses!!! Still no nhelp for our area and its been 3 more " 100year" storms in under 15 years!!!

Can you get any more dramatic. You lost a Pond and a Road, and a few houses. But lets ask for Hundreds of Millions to fix it. Perhaps you should have done so years ago.
Not one cent to an area that voted Republican until they have put into escrow at least 50% of the funds needed. Given that their votes can be traced to the elected officials that have been denying climate change science, I'd say that is being more than generous.
