Donate Food

Thank you for your editorial in the November 6 issues [“Stop the Hunger”], in which you urged all of us to contribute to our local food pantries now because of the suspension of federal SNAP benefits. Emphasizing that this is not a partisan issue, I made similar requests to local Democrats during the recent campaign, as well as more recently this last weekend. We can each find food pantries nearest us by going to the Town of Southampton website and putting “local food pantries 2025 v2” in the search box. To this list, please add Bay Street Theater, Sag Harbor. ... by Staff Writer

Dragnet

Recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Hampton Bays and Westhampton Beach lay bare the irrational immigration policies of the Trump administration. I wrote this one and a half years ago: “In February 2017, The Southampton Press’s Michael Wright reported on local businessmen and their reasons for employing immigrant laborers; his article was titled “East End Employers Say Immigrant Workers Pay Taxes, Provide Foundation for Local Economy.” In that article, local tradespeople expressed the belief that the new Trump administration would be judicious in their approach to immigration, that the new administration would deport only bad guys.

Tribal Politics

The tribe has spoken. Following the national trend, Southampton Town Democrats enjoyed some big wins in Tuesday’s election. Tom Neely earned a Town Council seat by defeating incumbent Rick Martel, and Democratic Party candidates won all five Trustees seats, ousting three incumbents. Indeed, big wins for local Democrats. Voters stayed loyal to their brand — but is Southampton Town better off today? Time will tell. I primarily voted for the incumbents in our local election, as I’ve never subscribed to the idea of change for the sake of change. Southampton Town will be losing a lot of experience when Rick ... by Staff Writer
