Just as the Democratic Party’s process to select a candidate to challenge President Trump next year intensifies, with 20 declared candidates so far and the first debate set for next month, Democratic and Republican officials are wasting no time in focusing on New York’s First Congressional District.
East Hampton Village Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr., who has held the office since 1992, announced on Monday that he would not seek re-election in 2020.
PSEG Long Island announced on Friday that it will not build a new Montauk substation on Flamingo Avenue or at Eddie Ecker Park, locations that many in the community opposed.
Oddly enough for such a celebrated destination, the Hamptons run a little thin on what could be called tourist attractions. Vacation time here is so much about the beach, eating good food, and spending quality hours with family and friends, that places to which you might drive to see something specific are not entirely obvious. What this means is that other than the Montauk Lighthouse, the Hamptons’ cultural and natural destinations tend to be under the radar.
