Killing the Goose

Bill Hillman said it all: Tinkering with the existing roadways will not alleviate the problem in any way, shape or form [“Traffic Solutions Will Require Remaking the South Fork, Experts Say, and May Be Unlikely To Ever Happen,” 27east.com, October 23]. And the roadways are the canary in the mine. All of the infrastructure in the Hamptons is overtaxed — too much is demanded of the water table, which is being infiltrated with saline water; electronic signals are weakening. We are killing the goose that laid the golden eggs on which builders have become more than rich. There is only ... by Staff Writer

The Tour With a Twist(er)

There was a report on the radio that a tornado had touched down a few miles away, and that more twisters were possible. Silver-white lightning lashed down from the dark sky, relentless waves of rain washed the windshield, and the wind, gusting to 40 mph, hurled roadside debris across the highway. Vehicles, even large, stolid trucks, sought the shelter of overpasses. Visibility was very bad, but we pressed on. Did I wake up from this dream? I wish that had been an option. Instead, I was stuck in a storm that struck Kansas City and its surroundings. Ah, the glamorous ... by Tom Clavin

One Constant

With Election Day on Tuesday, November 5, Southampton will see new and familiar faces among East End officials. Yet one unfortunate constant remains in Southampton Village: an ineffectual administration led by Mayor Bill Manger. Under Manger’s leadership, critical issues like traffic mitigation, environmental and water quality protection, overdevelopment, controversy over Pond Lane, and the decline of our downtown have been ignored or poorly addressed, leaving our community in a state of stagnation. Manger refuses to address the assessed value issue. The present Southampton Village system of determining assessed values produces absurd and unfair results. The system benefits Manger’s wealthy financial ... by Staff Writer
