Michael Wright had an article this past week that ended with: “‘We’ve got to start on some level,’ [Jim] Grimes said” [“East Hampton Town Trustees Face Long, Costly Road in Potential Napeague Harbor Remake,” 27east.com, June 28].
In 2020, in regards to the harbor dredging, a response given to me at a Trustees meeting: “The reality is, we are a couple of years away.” Now, three years later, and after a decade of losing beachfront and a harbor that is well known to be heating up. With shoulder shrugging: We’ve got to start.
Awesome. What’s the set date? Still none in sight. More studies to be done that just may mimic the 2012 study. But it’s an election year — the time when wordsmiths use entertaining phrases.
Problem now is, District 12 is tired of waiting. But, then again, is this the new holding pattern? Delay and wait people out? After all, according to the Coastal Assessment Resiliency Plan, I’m the only one left in 2070.
Still here.

Slippery as an EelReading a letter from Thomas Jones [“Clarity Needed,” Letters, October 16] always reminds me of a statement from the Ministry of Truth in Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four.” The narrative is always adjusted so that every action taken by the current administration...
Connective ThreadsIt was a stunningly beautiful day for our community to gather for the worldwide rally declaring “No Kings” in America. The sun reflected on my phone where my speech notes were housed, rendering my mapped-out speech a circuitous chopping block...
