Lee Zeldin, who represented New York’s First Congressional District from 2015 to 2023 and is now the administrator of the federal Environmental Protection Agency, was heckled and admonished by climate activists at the Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach, in a chaotic scene that turned violent.
In a surprise announcement on Monday, LTV, which operates East Hampton Town’s public access channel, announced that Michael Clark, its executive director since October 2019, has resigned. Jonathan Olken, chairman of LTV’s board of directors, has also resigned, and Ellen Watson, LTV’s longtime operations manager, is soon to retire.
The Amagansett Village Improvement Society will tip its collective hat to Joan Tulp on Saturday. “I don’t think I’ve met anyone more committed to their hometown than Joan,” said Victor Gelb, who serves as co-president of the group with her.
