I would like to speak to the candidacy of Kimberly Allan to the Board of Trustees of the Village of Southampton.
Never have I observed a more energetic public servant in this setting. She was tireless in her efforts to learn the ways of the village when she first joined the board. She attended scores of meetings, many of which are tedious affairs, in order to learn the operation of village government.
She has learned well. Given her experience in other ventures, combined with her evident abilities and desire to learn, I am confident of her abilities. Beyond her abilities, it is also clear that she harbors a love for Southampton and an unflagging goal of making it better. She understands the various and plentiful challenges, and is not given to complacency — no one works harder.
She will work effectively for us, as she has done until now. Most impressive is her availability and her willingness to share her time and listen to her constituents. No one is more accessible.
She is dedicated to improving our quality of life in Southampton Village. Vote for Kimberly Allan.

A recent email from Congressman Nick LaLota informs his constituents that he “secured $150 million in direct funding for Suffolk County.” This money will be used to support infrastructure programs for Long Island communities. Some clarification is in order. The...

In Michael Daly’s April 1 Letter to the Editor [“Forward, Not Back”], he writes, “Hi, it’s me again. Your good conscience whispering in your ear.” Well, let me whisper in the other ear while using data and a calculator. Multifamily...
I am confused. In today’s Newsday, there is an article about a landscaper, Affa Organics, who is being fined $100,000 for damage to the Pine Barrens. He apparently chopped down trees, bulldozed land and excavated soil and is now required...
