Dangerous Broken Pole, Continued

I received this voice mail message reagrding the broken pole in front of 125 Merrick Avenue:

"Yes, good morning. This message is for Mr. John Dunn. My name is Ella Pinelli. I'm calling from Supervisor Kate Murray's office in the Town of Hempstead. We are in receipt of your e-mail in regards to the pole and certainly have been made aware that since you contacted our office back in October, we have reached out to Verizon several times and also they did inform us over the last couple of days that some wires initally had to be moved. Nassau County Traffic Signal has moved their wires and now we just made a call to Sedema(?) Networks  which is a fiber exchange company, a fiber company, and as well as Verizon has contacted them in the past, but we placed a courtesy call to them as well and they did indicate that they would send somebody out and check on it. So we just hopefully, once they move their wires, according to Verizon, then Verizon can remove the pole. So hopefully, that should be the last of it and then that would be wonderful for the holiday. But if you need to reach us, we can be reached, my name is Ella, E-l-l-a, last name is Pinelli, P-i-n-e-l-l-i, Supervisor Kate Murray's office. You can reach me directly through 489-6000. Again, that's 489-6000. Thank you. "
