For Whom the Bell Tolls

Mass deportations. It’s become the catchphrase for the terror, cruelty, heartlessness and chaos many associate with the pending Donald Trump redux administration. As Trump’s leading day one promise, it has captured most of the headlines — that is, until a cabinet of clowns began being nominated. The terror comes from the fear that we will get Trump unleashed from the norms and normies that harnessed his first administration — a Donald J. Trump schooled in the federal levers of power and fueled by a hyper-inflated sense of a mandate. The rapidity and rapaciousness with which Trump is acting has bedazzled ... by Carlos Sandoval

The Pause Is Over

The congestion pricing plan is back — but will the plan stick? Will it actually be reality? The board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority last week voted 12-1 to approve a $9 toll during peak hours for drivers of cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street, starting January 5. The toll would be about 50 percent higher for drivers without E-ZPass, and higher for trucks. The $9 is down from the $15 that Governor Kathy Hochul initially proposed. Then, in June, just weeks before the first-in-the-nation plan was to take effect, Hochul announced what she termed a “pause.” The impact of ... by Karl Grossman

Dismayed

I read the article “Eviction Notice Sparks a Split Between Venerable Museum and Shellfish Group” [27east.com, November 20] with profound dismay. I live near Conscience Point and regularly walk in the area. I often take friends and visitors on tours of the harbor, the marina, the shellfish hatchery and Conscience Point Park. The South Fork has thrived because of hard work — be that farming, whaling, fishing or the shellfish industry. These industries are the lifeblood of the area. It is also through those same industries that we learn of ways in which to help preserve and protect this extremely ... by Staff Writer

A New Low

The full-page ad by East Coast Mines and Materials in the November 21 edition of The Press strikes a new low. Those who collaborated on this vile attack are far beneath contempt. Briefly, the ad claims cooperation between the supervisor and a landowner who allegedly contributed to her campaign in the 2023 election, to close sand mines owned and operated by East Coast, so as to increase the value of surface property developed by the alleged donor. This fabrication completely ignores New York State law, which recognizes that sand mines are a mortal threat to Long Island’s precious sole-source aquifer, ... by Staff Writer

Misleading Ad

The egregious full-page ad in the November 21 edition of The Southampton Press regarding Sand Land Mine operations in Southampton Town is misleading and wrong. The ad, designed to encourage readers to doubt the many-years effort to close the polluting Sand Land Mine operations, is by an East Quogue group, East Coast Mines and Minerals, and asserts that, “There is not a single study to justify their claims of groundwater contamination.” Assemblyman Fred Thiele, the Group for the East End and the Noyac Civic Council beg to differ. The East Hampton Star, quotes Mr. Thiele: “Sand Land is a proven ... by Staff Writer
