There is a full-page advertisement in last week’s Sag Harbor Express, on Page A19, signed by the “Committee to Save Our Waterfront.” It levels a number of charges against Sag Harbor’s current mayor, Kathleen Mulcahy. The charges are unsubstantiated, and some are false, in my view.
Doesn’t The Express have a responsibility to its readers to require that the source of this sort of political advertising be identified? To my knowledge, there is no such group as the “Committee to Save Our Waterfront.” If there is such a committee, it is unknown to me and to Express readers.
The members of secret committees always have something to hide.
I am not publicly supporting either candidate, but I am very disappointed in The Sag Harbor Express for giving this individual or small group a shield to hide from the public. You have failed in your responsibility.

Bought and SoldI am writing in response to last week’s letter, “Pay To Play” [September 11]. At first, some of the names mentioned sounded familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then it hit me. Leon Black — a billionaire...
Working DiligentlyOn Thursday, I attended the Southampton Village Board meeting on traffic and realized I had previously misspoken. I said the trustees had taken only “baby steps” in addressing this issue. I was wrong. The truth is, they have been working...
Open Space ImpactI am hoping you will understand the environmental impact of what natural open space, near watering holes, does for our native wildlife. I can only speak professionally as a New York State licensed expert for our state-protected “species of special...
