Donald Trump is offering a massive public lands giveaway to the fossil fuel industry. He’s ordered the United States to “drill, baby, drill” on public lands, and he’s fast-tracked new oil and gas projects, bypassing environmental and public review. His allies in Congress are even pushing to open Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. If they get their way, the fossil fuel industry will wreck our national landmarks for profit and pump millions more tons of planet-warming pollution into the atmosphere in the process. So if we don’t want to see drilling rigs the next time we head ...

The April 27 Southampton Press editorial “Under Attack” states: “Democracy is under attack.” In the Village of Southampton, democracy is denied to honest residents by the unscrupulous “nonresidents” who vote in village elections. According to New York State Election Law, to register and vote, one must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, and a resident of the state and the specific locality for at least 30 days before the election. This residency requirement ensures that voters have a genuine and ongoing connection to the community in which they cast their ballots. Addresses in the estate section have ...

The truth is that the white South Africans are not being persecuted. They comprise approximately 7 percent of the South African population and own approximately 70 percent of the land. The truth is that Russia is the aggressor against Ukraine and is trying to eliminate it. Vladimir Putin intends to include Ukraine as part of Russia. The truth is that the emoluments provision in the U.S. Constitution prohibits government officials from accepting gifts or other benefits from foreign powers without the consent of Congress. A $400 million airplane given by Qatar would be considered a gift. If anyone tries to ...

The Village of Southampton is proposing to erect a 125-foot cell tower directly behind the iconic Windmill Lane Firehouse [“Southampton Village Looks To Add Cell Tower; Historic District Could Be Expanded,” 27east.com, November 15, 2024]. This plan feels deeply out of step with the character of our quaint and historic village. As a member of the Board of Architectural Review and Historical Preservation, I strongly oppose the proposed tower due to its overwhelming scale, visual impact, and its location adjacent to our historic district. At a recent Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, it was suggested that satellite technology may provide ...

As I run for trustee, I am grateful for the broad support I am receiving from neighbors and friends throughout Southampton Village. I am hearing appreciation for progress, but also a widely held belief that we can do better, especially on key issues that impact the long-term look and feel of the village. One of those issues is the industrial-looking solar canopy erected in the Jobs Lane parking lot [“Mayor Defends Installation of Solar Canopy in Jobs Lane Parking Lot as Some Residents Object,” 27east.com, May 2]. I am running independently for trustee to be a clear, unbiased voice on ...

I commend Nick LaLota and the other Republican members of the House of Representatives who held out against the “one big, beautiful bill” — but I would have a great deal more respect for them if they were holding out to protect those who need Medicaid and those who need Food Stamps. There are so many people out here who are in desperate need of help — just talk to the staff at any of the food pantries. Making the poor shoulder tax cuts for the most wealthy is the opposite of the kind of community and country that I ...

The letter submitted by Stephen Ring regarding the “Jose Reyes” farce, which offers praise to the letter writer and a parallel to “Deep Throat” [“Backroom Deals,” Letters, May 15] only makes this situation more preposterous. It’s generally understood that Mark Felt, who was “Deep Throat,” broke the law by leaking classified information to journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein during the Watergate scandal. He was a deputy director of the FBI at the time, and the actions he took could have landed him in prison. While he didn’t face legal consequences at the time, his actions were considered a violation ...
