Just because a financial arrangement was made between the town and the village, without informing this neighborhood, why do politicians think they can do what they wish with the place we call home [“Southampton Village Moving Ahead With Plans To Add Features To Moses Park,” 27east.com, July 19]?
We pay both village and town taxes, and for that we have no input?
Now we learn that Moses Park will be fully developed into a sports center. Did they ask?
How many people really want to play bocce, tennis or pickleball?
Is there a traffic study to show how many more people will drive on already overcrowded Moses Lane? How many people will cut through our neighborhood from Hill Street to reach the park?
How about the litter that will ensue?
No concern has been given to those who live here and bear the tax burden, as well as all the other negative issues that will follow.
Next time, Southampton, wake up! Be careful for whom you vote.

Many extremely wealthy American businessmen have returned to supporting Donald Trump after fiercely criticizing him for his role in the January 6 insurrection. They have explained that they believe that a second Joe Biden term will be detrimental for them...
And the simple question comes: At what point do the owners of a property get to decide how it is used? How is this lost in the law? The airport is not a major hub. The town owns the land....
