Those comments included but were not limited to "inferences that only 6 women/people were causing this upheaval"with the Town. He also mentioned that 2 of the ZBA members have conflicts of interest since t they are employed by Southport and he, along with Ills.

Mr. Regan informed Mr. Shuhow that these `comments and/or gossip"'were without merit and should he construed as hearsay. Mr: Nelson also informed the Southport residents that at the last two meetings, the ZBA has bumped their business in front of the Agenda so that so many people did not have to wait all night. However, that is not fair to other members of the community that are present for their own hearings. Any further Southport business will be put at the end of'the hearing list along with "other business".
