The group consists of around 100 people and they are considering recalling their votes for East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson and Councilwoman Theresa Quigley.

The group apparently doesn’t know yet how they can recall their votes, but they know it has been done in California. They believe neither Wilkinson, nor Quigley are working in the best interests of the residents who voted for them.

At issue are proposals to sell the town docks in Montauk and the Fort Pond House.

Quigley says the charges are unfair, and based on misinformation. The board aims to reduce taxes, as they stated before being elected, and they are consolidating and considering selling assets.

One of the properties at issue is the Fort Pond House, which she says was on a Planning Department list, but that it is not specifically targeted by the board.

The board does not seem to have a plan, it is not consulting with residents and it appears to be taking very shortsighted decisions that make little impact on budget problems.
