27east.com reported that Greg Konner is proposing a cannabis dispensary to be located at the current Carvel in Bridgehampton [“Owner of Bridgehampton Carvel Building Eyes Cannabis Dispensary for Site,” 27east.com, September 20].
Shame on you and your family, Greg Konner! Honestly, is money all anyone thinks about these days? You are purposefully trying to violate the place where you live.
How can you possibly think this is a good idea? Do we not already have way too much traffic? We are already overrun with people who are chipping away at our quality of life. People like you are ruining this area. And, by the way, in trying to get this ridiculous idea passed, you will ultimately be taking away the reason why those who bought houses here did so — whoops — and there will go your customers. They don’t want this here in their town either.
Please, Southampton Town Board, do not allow the Konners or anyone else to take away what’s left of our quiet town by allowing this special exemption permit.

LifesaverOn July 15, my husband was powerwalking along Route 114 at 11:30 a.m. when he collapsed from heat stroke. A woman, or, I should say, an angel, stopped her car and loaded a bloodied, almost unconscious person into her car...
Compliant MessagingPaula Angelone, another useful tool of the Trump derangement syndrome-afflicted, railed against Donald Trump’s perceived violent rhetoric of the past as a sorry excuse for the assassination attempt last week [“American Landscape,” Letters, July 18].

Dear LeaderKudos to whoever decided to devote a half page (!) in last week’s edition to some stunningly deep investigative reporting! To wit: A part-time resident of Sag Harbor, who doubles as a full-time anchor on the dear leader TV network,...
One-Way StreetI resigned from the Southampton Town Planning Board last month. That was not an easy decision, as I truly enjoyed working with the planning staff and the wonderful people who serve on that board. That said, I’m a community advocate...
A ShowmanI was amused to read last week’s Letters to the Editor by Bill Jones [“End the Bias”], Thomas Jones [“Abject Failure”], Ed Surgan [“Sky Isn’t Falling”], and John Porta [“Bleak Alternative]. If you believe their words and statistics then you...
Unfit for OfficeAs an independent voter, I have been very frustrated, like many, about the candidates being offered by the Democrats and Republicans for the presidency come November, as both to me appeared unfit for office. One’s weaknesses became increasingly clear as...
