Muttontown Resident’s AT&T Allegations Called ‘Categorically False’

The allegations against AT&T in the motion to intervene in the carrier’s infrastructure complaint against the village of Muttontown, New York, “are categorically false and completely at odds with the facts in this case,” emailed an AT&T spokesperson Friday. “As we demonstrated during the public hearing on this matter, this proposed cell site is necessary to serve our customers, including first responders, in and around the Village of Muttontown.” Muttontown resident Russell McRory alleged in his motion that AT&T and village officials conspired secretly to get the 165-foot cell tower approved over the objections of the local zoning board of appeals, and that AT&T’s claims the tower was needed to remedy in coverage gap in the area were a “myth” (see 2210200034).
