The Lobster Inn suffering as a result of county roadwork

It is a sad state of affairs when Southampton Town has been taken over by the Hollywood outsiders. Sunrise Highway was widened so they can get back and forth to NYC faster at the expense of town taxpayers who have lived here all their lives. What is wrong with Town government. People, it is time to throw them all out and elect local folks who have your best interest at heart." Sep 24, 08 9:03 PM

Long Island lawmakers concerned about new Senate majority

The Long Island Republicans should be afraid, be very afraid. Their schools have been overfunded with with state aid the past five years. The schools have the reputation for being administrative top heavy in personell and salaries. Thats where the local taxpayers should insist their school boards make the cuts, not in the classroom."

The digital (television) age is upon us

What no one is talking about is the actual law which makes cable companies carry both analog and digital signals until 2012. That is the only reason that people who have cable TV and analog tuners will be able to watch the broadcast after Feb. 19, 2009. Come 2012, only digital signals will be carried so everyone without either a TV w/digital tuner or a cable company digital box hooked up to their TV's will be out of luck." Jan 15, 09 12:06 AM

Skating rink returns to Southampton Village

Agawam lake was good enough to skate on when I was a kid growing up in Southampton. It appears that too many candy asses have relocated to the area and prefer a platic skating rink rather than good ole mother nature." Jan 15, 09 12:14 AM

Southampton considers future of dual-language education

The problem is the ultra liberal school board. This program never should have been funded as taxpayer money should be utilized for the benefit of all students, not just a select few because someone has their own agenda." Feb 1, 09 10:58 AM

Another noose found hanging in the woods of Sagaponack

Where is a crime committed? Can someone not display a conferserate flag? Legally, do we all have to like each other? No one was threatened by this noose hanging in middle of no where.

Isn't this wat the Nazis did." Feb 1, 09 11:10 AM

Some opposition to proposed farmers market in Southampton

A farmers market at the Parish Art Museum......Wonder what class of people that is aimed at? Can't the phonies gather at one of their mansions? Will only church going people be allowed to attend? This will not be for the benfit of the average taxpayer but something else for the Southampton Blue Bloods to put on their calendars. What next, polo matches in the middle of main street?"

Tuckahoe voters approve land purchases

The purchase of the 1.5 acre wooded area makes sense as it can be cleared and used as sports fields when a school expansion takes part of the existing fields away. But why pay the same amount for a house on 1/4 acre of land. What is the house for, the Superintendent? the house will have to be torn down ansd what will really be gained for that sliver of land? Vote NO unless they change it to only purchasing the 1.5 acre piece of land." Mar 18, 09 10:56 PM

Southampton wrestling coach arrested on drug charges

Don't know this man but from what I've been reading he appears to be a good influence on children and has made a difference in many young lives. Someone like this deserves the communities support through these hard times. Maybe with proper drug treatment he can once again contribute to society. He deserves another chance by letting him become a spokesperson against drug abuse. I do not see why he shouldn't be alowed to teach and coach again as long as he submits regulary to random drug testing. " Mar 30, 09 7:23 PM

Cut town government services, period! Do you think that everyday life will be affected by cutting town services? What they do affecets everyday people very little.
