Verizon is planning to build a cell tower on Grand Island and one of the proposed sites is next to Huth Road School. Its a middle-income, quiet residential area with alot of children. Less than a mile away from my parents house and where I grew up.

Its apalling too that Town Supervisor Peter McMahon and School Superintendent Robert Christmann are not dead set against the idea of putting one of these things behind an elementary school. There is nothing taller in that vicinity than a telephone poll.

If this were to happen, Mr. McMahon should start cleaning out his desk. You can't tell me there isn't another place to build the tower. Not to mention the value of homes in the area that would take a hit with the unsightly thing in such a pristine area.

The school superintendent Mr. Christmann is not leaning one way or the other which makes me wonder, how much money is being passed on here to Grand Island political and school leaders to make this thing happen. How much are they going to take to be bribed into this thing? Its a big coorporation lobbying our elected officials and its really close to home and its a bunch of crap.
