This gets sillier and sillier every year.
The LIBBA press release -





"William Walter Lomnicki Billy
PRESS RELEASE: NYS has deemed it necessary to close Democrat Point due to a new pair of Piping Plovers found near the jetty. As President of LIBBA I find this decission by NYS completely unreasonable! There are other ways to solve this problem rather than close the whole beach. With the holiday weekend upon us NYS has ruined many of our members weekend.

The back road WILL be open but I did not buy my pass to park on the back road. I feel that with the fee we are paying other arrangements should have been made.
Therefore, I encourage EVERY LIBBA member to contact NYS Parks at 631-669-1000 to question their decision, ask for someone in the decision making department!
Also, call your Assemblyman, Legislator and Senator to lodge your complaint. DON'T depend on the other guy to do this....

We are all blue collar workers and are deserving of a little more courtesy.
As the LIBBA President I have a responsibility to my membership and will do everything in my power to try to get this situation under control. We are the Keepers of the Beach and we will continue to be the Keepers of the Beach.

Billy Lomnicki, LIBBA President with the backing of my entire Board of Directors."
