During this historic and frightening time of our lives, I feel it’s a shame that some of our local friends and neighbors seem to want to blame the “city people” for many of the woes that this pandemic has caused our community.
These are trying, stressful times for everyone, and we’re all in this together. This is the perfect opportunity to be forgiving, patient and kind instead of judgmental of others.
There are always going to be selfish people who think only of themselves, but this trait is not specific to any one segment of society.
These are Hamptons homeowners who pay taxes that support our local schools and services. They also provide the thriving summer community that helps our local businesses survive during the quiet winter months. We should be welcoming to all our visitors at any time of year.
Hoping you will all stay healthy and safe.

I am writing this letter to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to several individuals and organizations for their kind acknowledgment of my many years of public service to the East End communities. As many know at this point, in...
All leaders, especially political leaders, make decisions consistent with their own belief system and ideology. However, our current president is so pathologically self-absorbed that his personality completely dominates his presidency and his policies. His executive orders are not a statement...
When Tim Bishop was our congressman, he held numerous town hall meetings with his constituents. They were raucous affairs. Those were the days of the Tea Party, and its members were outraged that the federal government was expanding health care...
I have a suggestion for Craig Catalanotto, who is on record for opposing cross-endorsements and for allegedly switching alliances from Democratic to Republican Party candidates, such as Cyndi McNamara and Stephen Kiely. When the Pine Barrens Commission was in the...
