The Wrong Side of History

With the end of a long career of public service on the East End, I am looking forward to new opportunities in this next chapter of my life, including some time to decompress and enjoy friends and family. One of those opportunities I couldn’t pass up was the offer to do a column periodically for The Express News Group. The East End continues to confront so many important challenges and changes. I am thankful to have the chance to offer some opinion and perspective, and maybe an inside view, on some of the important issues of the day. This week, ... 7 Jan 2025 by FRED W. THIELE JR.

Champion of Reuse

At long last, Suffolk County has a county executive who fully understands the need to send highly treated wastewater back into the underground water table, on which the people of Suffolk depend as their “sole source” of potable water, instead of dumping it in nearby waterbodies, including the Atlantic Ocean. And Ed Romaine has legislative support. Further, providing funding to do this was the passing of a referendum in the November election, amending the Suffolk County Water Quality Restoration Act and increasing the county sales tax by one-eighth of a penny to raise money to build sewers and install high-tech ... by Karl Grossman

Keeping Warm

If I could draw any direct line between Jimmy Carter and me, it was his alleged impact on my afternoon chores. As the price of oil rose, so did the number of wood stoves in our house. To feed them, we had a massive, continually expanding wood pile. It did not fill me with joy to see its peak outperforming the chicken coop in height. After a storm, or during the height of Dutch elm disease, the pile dwarfed the garage. Our big, old farmhouse had a furnace, but my father kept the thermostat at 60 degrees. The wood pile ... by Marilee Foster

VIEWPOINT: The Day I Almost Killed Jimmy Carter

Back when Jimmy Carter was president, politics didn’t even have a back seat in my life. It was just after college, and it was the dawn of my independence. My plan was to work hard, have fun, pay New York City rent and never have to lean on my parents again. My only memory of Jimmy Carter’s presidency was that interest rates went up so high that paying off credit cards cut into my bar tab. Worse, soon after Carter left office, Congress passed a bill that eliminated the tax deduction on the interest on credit cards. The payments must ... by By Donathan Salkaln
