Just because a financial arrangement was made between the town and the village, without informing this neighborhood, why do politicians think they can do what they wish with the place we call home [“Southampton Village Moving Ahead With Plans To Add Features To Moses Park,” 27east.com, July 19]?
We pay both village and town taxes, and for that we have no input?
Now we learn that Moses Park will be fully developed into a sports center. Did they ask?
How many people really want to play bocce, tennis or pickleball?
Is there a traffic study to show how many more people will drive on already overcrowded Moses Lane? How many people will cut through our neighborhood from Hill Street to reach the park?
How about the litter that will ensue?
No concern has been given to those who live here and bear the tax burden, as well as all the other negative issues that will follow.
Next time, Southampton, wake up! Be careful for whom you vote.

Broken SouthamptonWhat was once a charming park, alive with birds, butterflies and bunnies, is now a dust bowl of holes, trash and construction debris. The bird feeders at Moses Park are flat on the ground, flies have replaced the wildlife, and...
Save the VillageI met with Mayor Bill Manger and the head of the Building Department, Chris Talbot. We agreed to explore a plan to help reduce the number of cars on our roads. Now, it’s a matter of following through on this...
Job Well DoneSundy Schermeyer first ran for Southampton Town clerk in 2006 and beat her opponent. She ran a second time unopposed, and when she ran for third, fourth and fifth terms, she was cross-endorsed by both the Republican and Democratic parties....
In This TogetherI attended both “No Kings” rallies in June and again last Saturday. The spirit of both were identical: We are a community of Americans, coming together, expressing ourselves in the most American of ways — by demonstrating and marching. Both...
