The Southampton Town Democratic Committee has shown the town residents what it really is: a political group filled with elitism and character assassination.
Voters of other political stripes are paying close attention to your back-and-forth written letters of desperation, filled with venom, printed in this newspaper. Your words really matter and won’t serve you well moving forward to the November election.
The dark cloud that looms over the Southampton Town Democratic Party will forever remain, unless you do something positive to lift that dark cloud. Remove the negative elements in your inner circle. Be more inclusive and welcoming.
It’s time for new DNA — and you know I’m right.
Those who pen words such as “psychotic,” “liar” and “pathetic” have reached a new low, a place where Democrats should not go.

Bad Neighbors“Good fences make good neighbors,” Robert Frost famously wrote in his poem “Mending Wall.” Frost was being ironic, or at least having a bit of fun at the expense of his neighbor’s fastidious efforts to repair the stone wall along...

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...
