I am writing this letter in strong support for Bridget Fleming to be reelected as Suffolk County legislator.
As a long-term resident of the East End, I am concerned with our environment, particularly our water quality and the epidemic of tick-borne illnesses. Bridget works tirelessly on these and other issues that affect us every day. She is very effective at securing resources for protecting our water quality and continuing research on tick-borne illnesses.
Please vote on November 5 for Bridget Fleming for Suffolk County legislature.

Backroom DealsWho is Jose Reyes? This question seems, by their reactions, to be the most important matter the Southampton Town Democratic Committee has to deal with. For me, and many voting citizens of Suffolk County who contact me, the question isn’t...

Not the Best DaySo, the person who concocted the recent traffic experiment says it was “the best day yet” [“After Southampton Traffic Experiment Victory Lap, Talk Turns to Long-Term Possibilities,” 27east.com, May 7]. Obviously he didn’t drive anywhere between 3 and 7 p.m....
