Mayor Maria Moore of Westhampton Beach has quit the library board after six years. Critics said she should have quit in June 2014 when she was elected mayor. Moore served eight years on fund-raising for the $7.5 million library.
Mayor Marie Moore of Westhampton Beach, responding to nearly 25 minutes of complaints by residents of failure to communicate about an eruv Orthodox Jewish boundary in WHB, has proposed a “community meeting” on the subject. We have suggestions for that.
