Aspects of the Story

To the Editor,
    Will your next article be on how the Long Island Rail Road allows overcrowding to the point where there is no way to pass through an aisle or stairway in an emergency?
    Or their liability in over-serving and setting drunk and/or underaged passengers out to kill the rest of us on the roads later?
    Or will you cover how code enforcement is allowing share houses?

Sad Commentary
    Springs
    May 19, 2013
Dear Editor,
    We’ve all read a bumper sticker that says “My [son or daughter] is an honor student at [one school or other].” Good for that proud parent and that hard-working student.
    Today, on a street in East Hampton Village, I read a bumper sticker that said “My yellow lab is smarter then your honor student.” That’s a sad commentary indeed.

Need for Road Repair
    Wainscott
    January 31, 2013
Dear David:
    I want to compliment Joanne Pilgrim on her excellent article on Highway Superintendent Lynch (“And Miles to Go Before He Sleeps”) and the need for road repair on the front page of last week’s Star. It properly captures the imagination and hard work that Steve has devoted to his job since taking office, as well as the need to address the deterioration of the town’s roads over the past several years.

Put Students First

    January 14, 2013
Dear David,
    When that wise group of people sat down and devised the mighty Constitution, lo these many years ago, they knew that this nation could only flourish if it had an educated populace. Thus public education was conceived, and over the years it has been extended to all regardless of race, creed, or national origin.
