On May 20, the voters in Amagansett have an opportunity. You can choose to bring on a new voice. The way the “majority” wishes to dictate a dismissive agenda doesn’t need to continue. If you are looking for fresh perspectives, open ears, and a diverse voice, you now have that choice: Me, Joe Karpinski.
I am an individual who is impartial, neutral, unbiased, and professional. I have no personal or family relationships with members of the School Board or school staff. I am but one voice. But my voice has always been a voice for any and everyone.
I have always been transparent, willing to listen, finding answers to questions asked and above all I will not avoid accountability. We have great students, great teachers, and a great community. Allow me the opportunity to bring Amagansett School back to the excellence it should always have. Not the division that has been brought to light from the shadows of controversy. Let this be the start of a beacon to shine for years to come.
From 2 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, May 20, cast your vote for the third name on ballot. That’s Joe Karpinski for School Board. Thank you for your consideration. Still here.
Joe Karpinski

Culture of CrueltyIt was discovered last week that 11 upper-class members of a high school lacrosse team near Syracuse had terrorized their younger teammates. They invited five of them out for some fast food and then staged a kidnapping. Four escaped, but...
Policy QuestionsA lot of interesting requirements for anyone running for school board. The most interesting is the wording of “a qualified voter of the district.” This will also coincide with the legal notice that “registered” voters of the district will be...

Go UndergroundWhile the latest volley of bells, whistles and delayed red-light cycles are welcome in alleviating the South Fork’s colossal bottlenecking problem, any superficial effort to ease the traffic is akin to using a hand bucket to stop the sinking of...
