Useless Durak

In a recent post, Ed Surgan paraphrased an article he claims was from Newsday about the “No Kings” rally: “Demonstrators were concerned with cuts to Medicare, government job cuts and free speech. While the first two may be legitimate differences over policy, they pose no threat to democracy.” Here is an actual quote from Newsday: “Thousands of protesters at more than a dozen locations from Port Washington to East Hampton rallied Saturday to denounce what they view as an increasingly authoritarian regime under the Trump administration. … Dozens of protesters interviewed in Mineola, Port Jefferson and Patchogue voiced concern over ... by Staff Writer

Turned Away

Perhaps to close out the discussion of the Working Families Party candidates, local voters should be aware of what happened during the primary election earlier this year. I work as a poll official in Westhampton Beach, and we had a total of eight voters come in to cast ballots all day. None of them was a registered Working Families Party voter. And so, although they were well meaning, we had to turn them away, thanking them nonetheless for trying to exercise their right to vote. There were at least 10 poll officials seated all day, from 6 a.m. to 9 ... by Staff Writer

Growing Silent

According to 27east.com, intense rainfall led to “significant scour and erosion” on the west side of the Sunrise Highway bridge abutment over the Shinnecock Canal in Hampton Bays [“Lane Restrictions on Sunrise Highway Will Last at Least Through Next Week,” 27east.com, October 31]. Many commuters are experiencing this firsthand. These kinds of rain events will become more commonplace here and elsewhere due to the increase in water vapor in the atmosphere. Water vapor is increasing because our planet is heating. Scientists tell us this: “For every degree Celsius in warming, the water-holding capacity of the atmosphere increases by about 7 ... by Staff Writer

Oddly Misguided

Last week’s Express Session at The American Hotel focused on the subject of parking [“Sag Harbor Panel Tackles Parking Problems, Business Impacts at ‘Local Matters’ Discussion,” 27east.com, October 29]. The format called for the audience to ask questions of the panelists, unlike prior Express Sessions, where preprepared subjects were given to the panel by the moderator for comment. About halfway through this meeting, former Mayor Jim LaRocca rose to deliver an off-topic statement critical of the village’s review boards’ conduct regarding the 2 Main Street/7-Eleven properties on West Water Street. Mr. LaRocca suggested that the review boards were working in ... by Staff Writer

Poisoned Dialogue

To John Neely [“Get Facts Right,” Letters, October 23], thank you for your comments. I’ll try to address them briefly. James Comey, John Brennan and James Clapper seriously damaged the United States’ reputation for fairness and justice. They have been exposed for using politically motivated lies to subvert our presidency. There is plenty of evidence to back up my argument. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to convict, due to legal statutes of limitation. Your comments about the affordability of health care, housing, etc. are problems directly attributable to the obscene amounts of money Democrats flooded our economy with during COVID. ... by Staff Writer
