Yes, MAGA

Cyndi McNamara is, too, a MAGA — if MAGA means “McNamara Against Government Asininity.” Since coming our way, she has done her homework, sought out the public’s concerns, and been available and open and conscientious throughout. Most important, she actually plows her way through the slippery mountain of paper and dross data generated by planners, consultants, engineers, experts and other know-it-alls who generate hackneyed ideas and big bills. And whom do they work for? She is clear-sighted, informed and measured — a necessary asset and corrective on an often clueless, self-serving, brain-dead board. And her cards are on the table, ... by Staff Writer

Deep Commitment

I have lived in Westhampton since 2011 and have followed Maria Moore’s work closely, first as mayor of Westhampton Beach and now as Southampton Town supervisor. Over the years, I’ve had several opportunities to listen to her and speak with her directly. She has always impressed me as a calm, straightforward and genuinely caring leader who values dialogue and treats everyone with respect. As supervisor, Maria has continued to show that same steady and thoughtful approach. She has focused on the practical issues that truly matter: protecting water quality, promoting renewable energy, improving waste management, and keeping our town government ... by Staff Writer

Driving Around

As Suffolk County residents will say, should we take the ferries between Suffolk and New England, or should we “drive around”? The “drive around” involves navigating the web of roads and bridges to our far west. And that can be quite a trip, as I learned last week, with that ferocious nor’easter hitting us and causing cancellations of service on both the Cross Sound Ferry between Orient Point and New London, and the Port Jefferson-Bridgeport ferry. We were taking a little vacation in southern Vermont — in the lovely town of Landgrove, a kind of Brigadoon in Vermont — and ... by Karl Grossman

High-Stakes Hotline

Some readers might be old enough to have experienced the Cuban Missile Crisis. It began 63 years ago this week, when President John F. Kennedy announced a blockade of Cuba in response to the Soviet Union building ballistic missile sites on the island. One would think such a close brush with nuclear war would have been the inspiration for the hotline between Washington, D.C., and Moscow. Yes, sort of. Such a system was used for the first time only 10 months after the crisis, on August 30, 1963, a call between Kennedy and the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. With Presidents ... by Tom Clavin

Broken Southampton

What was once a charming park, alive with birds, butterflies and bunnies, is now a dust bowl of holes, trash and construction debris. The bird feeders at Moses Park are flat on the ground, flies have replaced the wildlife, and village trucks sit idle there all weekend long, as if they’re on permanent display. The new “playground” is another head-scratcher: flimsy, uneven and destined to make personal-injury lawyers very happy. And, of course, the village sends in weekend crews on overtime pay to fix the mess they created. The result? Taxpayers are paying more for less, a trademark of Mayor ... by Staff Writer

Save the Village

I met with Mayor Bill Manger and the head of the Building Department, Chris Talbot. We agreed to explore a plan to help reduce the number of cars on our roads. Now, it’s a matter of following through on this concept. This plan would require any construction permit to have a transportation calculation. The developers and contractors would have to control their sites and the number of cars that would be there on a daily basis. We must save the village. I’ll keep you posted.
