While we see an outcry for administrators dressed in Halloween outfits like the Joker [“Tuckahoe School Parents Outraged Over Superintendent’s Joker Halloween Costume,” 27east.com, November 6], the Maria Dorr hearing continues [“Patience Wears Thin as Amagansett School Hearing Drags On,” 27east.com, November 5], and Michael Rodgers appeared as “Gru” and the vast majority of teachers walked Main Street dressed as “Minions.”
As an election brings about a roundabout and the end of a nature preserve [“East Hampton Voters Say Yes to Roundabout,” 27east.com, November 5], a new senior center couldn’t change Parsons Park on Springs-Fireplace Road.

Next election is already on the horizon.
Still here.
