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.

As a Sag Harbor native in my late 30s, I’ve seen the East End fully transform into the Hamptons — and it’s not a pretty picture. A village resident, I’m constantly reminded of how I don’t make enough money to...
Regarding your editorial, “Dangerous Liberty” [June 26]: We are of like minds on some issues — government overreach, the founding fathers’ understanding of the dangers of democratic process and of the dichotomy created by a two-party system. It seems important...
