THE ISSUES WE FACE

There are many issues affecting the community of South Yaphank as well as neighboring communities.

Many of these issues are controversial and some can be very polarizing but they do affect the quality of life of the residents and must therefore be addressed.  While there are no "quick fixes", we try to remain vigilant and to stay abreast of current developments and situations.  We focus on facts and we pride ourselves on that. 

We do not allow rhetoric, rumor or hearsay to guide our actions and because of that we have earned a great deal of respect from the various governmental and non-governmental entities with which we interact as well as from the decision-makers who represent them.  This approach may lack excitement and sometimes may seem slow or ineffective, but we have learned through the years that thoroughness and intelligent interaction is far more successful in the long run than emotional recklessness. 

Many decision-makers have come to accept (and have often stated publicly) that if SYCA says it, it must be true and that validates our efforts.
