Letters

I believe a newspaper provides the most comprehensive picture of a town over time. Not every article may be read, but I believe articles (or letters) of interest are better understood when read within the context of the larger community.

In a Letter to the Editor about the results of a special election to fill a vacant Southampton Town board seat, a reader wrote: “We watched as (John Leonard) unraveled on Councilwoman Cyndi McNamara’s Facebook page” [“We Are Watching,” Letters, March 27].

What was that all about?

As implied in other Letters to the Editor, issues (such as land use or police or highway or assessments or, for that matter, home rule) may appear to affect only one community but in reality apply to every geographic area.

So what was the issue behind the Facebook post that appeared to involve party delegates?
