SCAM ALERT — CLOUD STORAGE PHISHING EMAILS! 🚨

If you get an email claiming your cloud subscription expired and your personal data will be deleted unless you update your payment info immediately… STOP. 🛑

Scammers are sending fake “Cloud Account Expired” messages that look urgent and official. They want you to panic and click their fake links.

Here’s how to spot the scam:
⚠️ Red Flags
• Comes from a strange or unfamiliar email domain
• Urgent threats like “your data will be deleted today”
• Asks you to “update payment” through a link
• Mentions Cloud+, iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive — but doesn’t come from their real domain
• Bad spelling, odd spacing, or weird addresses in CC fields

💡 Quick Rule:
Never update payment or login information through a link in an email. Go directly to the official website or app instead!
📌 What to do
✔️ Mark the email as spam / phishing
✔️ Don’t click anything
✔️ Delete it
✔️ Share this post to help others stay safe online
Criminals rely on fear to trick you into giving up your password or credit card.

Stay calm. Stay smart. Stay secure. 🔐
If you’re not sure about a message — ask. Better safe than sorry!

Next time you are taking the LIRR in Ronkonkoma get there early and make time to have breakfast at Toast. The food is delicious 🤤

Don’t leave your unwanted furniture sitting on the street like a sad curbside orphan. Take it to the Town recycling center or post it on one of the many local Facebook groups where you can give it away for free. Your “junk” might just be someone else’s treasure — and you’ll help keep our community clean and beautiful.

The Town of Southampton forbids the dumping of furniture and unwanted household items. It is ILLEGAL, bad for the environment, and disrupts the quality of life for everyone.

If you're seeking to dispose of unwanted stuff, you can utilize our Town Recycling Centers:
♻️ North Sea Transfer Station - 1370 Majors Path
♻️ Hampton Bays Transfer Station - 30 Jackson Ave

Find info on our recycling centers here:

Thoughts on the Smith Point Bridge

SMITH POINT BRIDGE UPDATE

Smith Point Bridge's weight limit has increased back to 15 tons with a one-way traffic pattern controlled by lights. Park hours will resume to normal.

11/25/2025

If you drive CR-39, you can’t miss the new traffic pattern. So I teamed up with Highway Superintendent Charlie McArdle to break it down — what changed, why it matters, and how we can all adjust without losing our minds. Real talk on real roads.

A 50-year mortgage is being talked about — but not approved. Yet. Lower payments sound great… until you realize you could be paying until your 80s. 🎣🏠
This isn’t affordability. It’s bait.

The Hamptons isn’t just beaches and brunch. It’s real people.

But right now, those people can’t afford to live here.

If we want teachers, nurses, EMTs, hospitality workers, and tradespeople to stay…
we need REAL housing solutions:
Accept vouchers.
Build accessory dwellings.
Support workforce housing.
Stop blocking projects while saying “I support affordable housing.”
Do the work.

A community without workers is not a community.
It’s a resort with no staff.

Real Talk. Real People.
And honestly… who’s going to do the laundry then?

Shutdown’s over. Great. Now… can we talk about our healthcare?

Federal ACA subsidies were NOT increased. And if Congress refuses to act, premiums could jump more than $1,000 a year for millions of families. Real people. Real bills. Real consequences.

So what exactly was accomplished by shutting the government down for 41 days?

And when Americans finally realize they’ve been gaslighted — when they are forced to choose between healthcare for their family or groceries on the table — who gets blamed? Biden? Obama? Or the people who created this crisis?

Families deserve better than political games.

If you’re tired of your needs being ignored…
Use your voice. Use your vote.

SNAP Benefits Update: Good News for Now
The USDA has told states that SNAP will be fully funded during the appeal — meaning recipients will continue to receive their full benefits this month, even as the government shutdown drags on.

A federal judge ordered the USDA to release full payments, and while the administration is appealing that ruling, the agency confirmed it will keep funding full SNAP benefits in the meantime.

👉 In plain English: no cuts to your November benefits.
But this is still a temporary fix while the legal and budget battles continue — so stay tuned for updates and share this with anyone who depends on SNAP.
