Franklin, File) File photo Opponents of a plan to build a massive warehouse in Phillipsburg won’t be getting any help from the city leadership in Easton, Pennsylvania, just across the Delaware River. Easton’s leaders should speak out against the plan, warehouse opponents argue, because the city would be impacted by added truck traffic and air and light pollution from the proposed 510,000 square-foot building, just as much as Phillipsburg itself, which is only 1,000 yards away in some places. But Easton Mayor Sal Panto said his town doesn’t have legal standing to influence policies in another town in another state. He said he couldn’t speak for council members but was not going to speak against the warehouse himself.
