Quite a bit about SFNE interwoven in this article:

So they go from being hated (or so it seemed) to begging to stay in Agawam. Crazy Talk!

So who is telling the truth?

Subcommittee members interviewed after Tuesday's meeting appeared supportive of the height-limit change, but Zoning Board member Gary E. Suffriti said Wednesday it was not necessary.

"It takes away the checks and balances for what's going in there, in that area of town," Suffriti said. "Nothing's broken here. Why in the world are you trying to change something that's working?"

The delays that led to Six Flags abandoning its Dark Knight Coaster project "had nothing to do with us," Suffriti said. "We bent over backwards. We held special meetings. We did everything that we could do."

Either he has a score to settle, a grudge of some sort or is actually telling the truth because everything in the first article is in favor of the changes they are making for Six Flags.  This guy needs to learn how to join the PR bandwagon because all they are trying to do is cover up the mud in their face from this Spring.
