The Hampton Jitney sends out such a mixed message that passengers are confused and prone to argue on most every trip.
The official word for Hampton Jitney is: “Face masks will no longer be required on board our coaches … Hampton Jitney still strongly encourages and recommends the use of masks or face coverings when in small areas … such as on board our motor-coaches.”
What does that mean? Mask or no mask? Any private enterprise can enforce their own safety measures.

A Night To RememberAs we prepare to cast our vote in the upcoming election, I feel it important to recall the defining incident in the recent mayoral term and reflect upon it before making any decision. What happened that night was quite simply...
Blight in SightThere is a supervisor named Jay who said Bel-Aire will come down in a day and you will see the beautiful bay, but (five years later) in the light, a terrible sight, all you can see is blight. Jim Dreeben...
Seek To UnderstandWhatever happens with this Marsden vote, I’ll be happy to move on. Did we forget that it’s okay to disagree without being disagreeable? Running our schools is a complex endeavor. The board members are volunteers. They spent countless (thankless) hours...
The Hot PotatoBefore anyone votes yes on an increase in the sales tax to fund more clean water plans [“Lawmakers, Water ‘Czar’ Pitch Clean Water Plan at Summit in Southampton,” 27east.com, May 10], I would draw their attention to an April 15,...
