Yes, MAGA

Cyndi McNamara is, too, a MAGA — if MAGA means “McNamara Against Government Asininity.” Since coming our way, she has done her homework, sought out the public’s concerns, and been available and open and conscientious throughout. Most important, she actually plows her way through the slippery mountain of paper and dross data generated by planners, consultants, engineers, experts and other know-it-alls who generate hackneyed ideas and big bills. And whom do they work for? She is clear-sighted, informed and measured — a necessary asset and corrective on an often clueless, self-serving, brain-dead board. And her cards are on the table, ... by Staff Writer

Deep Commitment

I have lived in Westhampton since 2011 and have followed Maria Moore’s work closely, first as mayor of Westhampton Beach and now as Southampton Town supervisor. Over the years, I’ve had several opportunities to listen to her and speak with her directly. She has always impressed me as a calm, straightforward and genuinely caring leader who values dialogue and treats everyone with respect. As supervisor, Maria has continued to show that same steady and thoughtful approach. She has focused on the practical issues that truly matter: protecting water quality, promoting renewable energy, improving waste management, and keeping our town government ... by Staff Writer

As Suffolk County residents will say, should we take the ferries between Suffolk and New England, or should we “drive around”? The “drive around” involves navigating the web of roads and bridges to our far west. And that can be quite a trip, as I learned last week, with that ferocious nor’easter hitting us and causing cancellations of service on both the Cross Sound Ferry between Orient Point and New London, and the Port Jefferson-Bridgeport ferry. We were taking a little vacation in southern Vermont — in the lovely town of Landgrove, a kind of Brigadoon in Vermont — and ... by Karl Grossman
