Don't Change It

As a Sag Harbor native in my late 30s, I’ve seen the East End fully transform into the Hamptons — and it’s not a pretty picture. A village resident, I’m constantly reminded of how I don’t make enough money to live here, and, frankly, I’m habitually not given much incentive to stay. I need the people (and that includes the people who are in positions of power, who have a say in how our village looks, behaves and is addressed, and the non-native people who visit here or bought second homes here because they wanted to “get away”) to start ... 28 Jun 2025 by Staff Writer

Time for Change

Regarding your editorial, “Dangerous Liberty” [June 26]: We are of like minds on some issues — government overreach, the founding fathers’ understanding of the dangers of democratic process and of the dichotomy created by a two-party system. It seems important to me that it be clearly understood that the “No Kings” protest was not organized or supported by either party. It may be that more people labeled “Democrat” showed up, but it was organized by Indivisible and its affiliates. Indivisible was founded during the current administration’s first run for power in 2016. It is entirely grassroots and, so far as ... by Staff Writer

Mistakes of the Past

Governor Kathy Hochul continued her push for nuclear power in New York State by announcing last week that she has “directed the New York Power Authority” to “develop a new nuclear facility” to be built upstate, which would, as the heading of her announcement said, be the “First New Nuclear Power Construction in New York State in a Generation.” Her move was criticized by safe energy and climate activists and participants in the decades-long battle against nuclear power on Long Island. For years, the Long Island Lighting Company sought to build seven to 11 nuclear power plants, with the Shoreham ... by Karl Grossman

Planning for New Campus Progresses

One of my priorities when I served in the State Assembly was the future of the Southampton college campus. As part of Long Island University between 1963 and 2006, Southampton College was a critical part of providing higher educational opportunities on the East End, as well as an important part of the local economy and the cultural landscape. Tens of thousands of students benefited from the presence of the college. It was a personal lifeline for me, by providing me the chance to get a college education here at home when going away to school was just not feasible. In ... by Fred W. Thiele Jr.

We are celebrating 250 years since the American Revolution began, 249 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed — but beneath all the red, white and blue bunting. there is an undeniable sense that something dystopian is happening in our democracy I hear a constant question, delivered with desperate frustration: “But what can I do?” Life continues, and there are graduations and weddings and funerals. The sun rises and sets, and people understandably try to put Donald Trump’s forcible crash of American ideals out of their mind. But we ... by John Avlon
