I would like to correct an error that was included in my Letter to the Editor published last week [“Climate Winners,” Letters, March 18].
I wrote that the percentage increase in jet operations at KHTO, East Hampton Airport, in January 2021 was 88 percent. In fact, there was a whopping 290 percent increase in jets in January, and 88 percent in February 2021, compared to the same period in pre-pandemic 2020.
The statistics are from East Hampton Airport management, but the error was all mine. My apologies to all.

Often missing in public policy discourse is human engagement and why it’s so vital. Well-meaning officials have navigated pickleball noise fears on public property, nonconforming (now acceptable) commercial facade colors, and concerns over hanging out to consume organic wine at...
