• Town hires firm to defend OK for Sbarro family's plan (newsday.com) — North Hempstead has hired a Uniondale law firm to defend its approval of a controversial mixed-use redevelopment at Inspiration Wharf, facing a detailed lawsuit from Port Washington residents. For New Hyde Park readers, the same firm previously represented the town in the Hillside Islamic Center case, which ended with approval of the local mosque's expansion, signaling how outside counsel may again shape a major land-use fight.
