Margaret Timoney Bohner, formerly of Westhampton Beach, died on December 14, 2019, surrounded by her children, at Peconic Landing in Greenport. Born February 6, 1931, in New York City, she was raised in Manhasset and summered in Westhampton Beach before later moving to Westhampton Beach full time. She recently moved to Peconic Landing.

A gifted artist, she was a member and president of the Manhasset Art Association. She was an early advocate of recycling and sustainable living. Survivors describe her as a gentle and loving soul, and said her smile and laugh were infectious.

Predeceased by her husband of 51 years, Bill, she is survived by a brother, John Timoney; and sister Susie O’Neil; and seven children, Susan LaVista, Will Bohner, Mimi Dunn, Mark Bohner, Bob Bohner, Laura Bohner and Tricia Bohner; and 10 grandchildren.

Who's More Bipartisan

Like many Americans, I am disturbed by the lack of bipartisanship in Congress. Without true bipartisanship we won’t have the mutual listening and compromise that is necessary to have a workable government. This has not gone unnoticed by our local congressional candidates, both of whom claim the “more bipartisan” mantle. The incumbent, Republican Nick LaLota, claims to be one of the “most bipartisan members of Congress” in terms of congressional bills co-sponsored. Examining the details of the bills, however, reveals that only one of these bills has made it into law — a bill commemorating the 250th anniversary of the ... by Staff Writer

Think Strategically

An important financial issue facing Congressional District 1 voters is the possible full restoration of the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction, which offsets federal tax liability. That tax deduction is now capped at $10,000. From ny.gov: “Under the Trump administration, the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated full deductibility of state and local taxes (SALT), effectively costing New Yorkers $15.3 billion.” Although both CD1 candidates, Nick Lalota and Democrat John Avlon, support a full SALT deduction, it will not be enacted unless John Avlon becomes part of a Democratic majority. This is why: Tax bills originate ... by Staff Writer

Important Election

Let me open with: In the past, my choice for candidate has been based on qualification to lead our beloved United States of America. For that reason, my vote was the best one in my mind. I conclude: One candidate fabricates. The other one knows facts and is honest with responses to friendly or unfriendly media or those asking the questions. One didn’t do very much in four years, while the other has a proven record of prosperity, “promises made, promises kept.” These last four years, everything is higher.

Opposes Increase

I am opposed to the small increase in the sales tax for two reasons: It is the most regressive type of taxation and continues a practice of small increases that should be ended. There is no sequester of tax proceeds that is actually protected from politicians’ dreams and desires. Secondly, if the objective is to fund environmental/water quality projects, a better way is to bond a group of approved projects, using the Community Preservation Fund as the first means of covering annual interest expense and repayment, and obligate the Town of Southampton to make up any shortfalls, including the debt ... by Staff Writer

Vital Act

In September 2024, I submitted a Freedom of Information Law request to Southampton Village. I followed up nine times and even filed an administrative appeal with the village administration and/or the Board of Trustees — yet I have not received the documentation. It’s been over a year now! This is what is written on the New York Open Government Website, (opengovernment.ny.gov/freedom-information-law: “The Freedom of Information Law, effective January 1, 1978, reaffirms your right to know how your government operates. It provides rights of access to records reflective of governmental decisions and policies that affect the lives of every New Yorker.” ... by Staff Writer
