November 17, 2011 6:55 am Comments Off

Now that Lowe’s has pulled the plug on its Huntington project we must ask the question what has been left behind?. Essentially we have a 17 acre piece of land that has been denuded of vegetation and a steep slope destroyed. In its present condition this land area is now ripe for erosion, especially along the […]

November 16, 2011 7:47 am 2 Comments

It is with a sense of ambivalence that we inform you that ShotSpotter went live today. While we are thankful to Jon Cooper and others who have helped to make this happen, we are saddened that it has become necessary. We certainly hope that our local politicians do not hold their typical photo ops or press conferences to brag about […]

The HHA Is In Violation Of FOIL, Open Meetings Law, and Town Code

November 13, 2011 11:59 am 1 Comment

The Huntingtonian has been and will continue to discuss the Freedom Of Information (FOIL) and Open Meetings Law. We believe that it is every citizens obligation to observe and determine if our government is operating justly. This is the only way to preserve democracy and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our […]

Our research shows that the Patch often reports in this fashion. Kelly Campbell was the exception but to the best of our knowledge no longer reports for the […]

The reference to headache’s was a quote that is attributed to another Huntington BOE member, and has nothing to do with Elizabeth Black. To depict a woman popping out of cupcakes and making reference to sucking is tasteless at […]
