I would like to congratulate Gina Arresta and Bill Manger on their victory on Election Day.
I would also like to thank my wonderful supporters, grassroots campaign team and the many kind people who invited me into their homes to share their thoughts (and even a glass of wine) during my run for trustee.
My hope for the future is that our community will be more aware and informed on the status of top issues concerning our village (i.e. sewer, traffic, master plan).
The fabric of community elections here and in other East End villages has changed markedly with the rise of absentee ballots. In this election, absentee ballots comprised over 25 percent of the votes. It is my hope that those who voted absentee and live in other cities, states and even countries will remain engaged and informed in our village politics.
We now have a one-party rule and we should diligently watch that the actions of the board are visible and consistent with the priorities of all residents. A harmonious village is dependent on its citizenry being aware and involved.
I wish the new board much success going forward.

We are seeing a disturbing trend on the East End and particularly in the Town of Southampton. It is perplexing to witness extremely wealthy buyers, ones with resources to fund endless, years-long legal battles, to the detriment of neighbors and...
Kudos to Highway Superintendent Charlie McArdle for his self-serving pat on the back with his “Outside the Box” letter [July 18]. His “outside the box” is nothing more than selective entitlements given to a very small group of people who...
On July 15, my husband was powerwalking along Route 114 at 11:30 a.m. when he collapsed from heat stroke. A woman, or, I should say, an angel, stopped her car and loaded a bloodied, almost unconscious person into her car...
Paula Angelone, another useful tool of the Trump derangement syndrome-afflicted, railed against Donald Trump’s perceived violent rhetoric of the past as a sorry excuse for the assassination attempt last week [“American Landscape,” Letters, July 18]. Claiming “violence begets violence,” she...
Kudos to whoever decided to devote a half page (!) in last week’s edition to some stunningly deep investigative reporting! To wit: A part-time resident of Sag Harbor, who doubles as a full-time anchor on the dear leader TV network,...
I resigned from the Southampton Town Planning Board last month. That was not an easy decision, as I truly enjoyed working with the planning staff and the wonderful people who serve on that board. That said, I’m a community advocate...
I was amused to read last week’s Letters to the Editor by Bill Jones [“End the Bias”], Thomas Jones [“Abject Failure”], Ed Surgan [“Sky Isn’t Falling”], and John Porta [“Bleak Alternative]. If you believe their words and statistics then you...
As an independent voter, I have been very frustrated, like many, about the candidates being offered by the Democrats and Republicans for the presidency come November, as both to me appeared unfit for office. One’s weaknesses became increasingly clear as...
