HAMPTON BAYS — A local resident told Southampton Town Police on October 20 that she had been the target of an attempted fraud scheme.

She mailed the check and was then told by the fraudsters that it had not arrived and that she should send another, which she did. But after discussing the matter with a family member, she realized ... by Staff Writer

The first is a state measure that would clear the way for an Olympic skiing and trail facility on preserved land upstate. We recommend a yes vote, simply because it seems like a sensible use of valuable real estate for the benefit of that region and the entire state. However, the Suffolk County proposition, the second on the ballot, is a clear no. The measure would extend county legislators’ terms from two to four years, something voters have overwhelmingly ... by Editorial Board

We Mark Our Ballot: County Legislature

In an age punctuated by extreme political party divisions and acrimony, it was refreshing to hear from two Suffolk County legislators representing the East End — one a Democrat and one a Republican — about how well they worked together to represent the interests of their varied constituents and pass legislation to benefit all residents, regardless of political affiliation. It was downright astonishing to hear them heap praise upon each other, both personally and politically, during separate interviews with The Express News Group Editorial Board. This at a time when each is facing an active challenger. It became crystal clear ... by Editorial Board
