I think it a travesty of justice and a moral disgrace that the Millers were able to avoid jail time in the unnecessary deaths of two women, in the prime of life, who simply wanted a nice vacation [“Owners of Noyac House Where Sisters Died in 2022 Fire Plead Guilty,” 27east.com, August 26].
That the Millers allowed people to rent their house knowing there were no permits obtained, no working smoke detectors and no certified contractors employed to make the renovations should mandate a jail sentence.
They may be well-intentioned people, but they gave no regard to possible mishaps. Twenty-nine violations of town code and the deaths of two young women should automatically trigger a minimum sentence.

This is in response to David Rung’s letter regarding labor relations in Southampton Village. Consistent with his practice, Mr. Rung, who has an ongoing dispute with the village over his taxes, misapprehends the facts or deliberately distorts them. I have...
