The U.S. Open Trophy was last presented at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton in 2018. “This is what every golf professional, every player on tour, this is what they want to win,” Eric Steimer, senior director of the U.S. Open Championships for the United States Golf Association, said during a news conference while holding the trophy. “Frankly, as we picked Shinnecock Hills as our golf club, one of the true cathedrals of the game, this is where they want to win.”On days of the tournament, fans have the option to take the Long Island Rail Road, rideshare or drive. Personal parking spaces will not be an option at the course, but fans can pay to park at the Shinnecock reservation and take a shuttle provided by USGA over to the tournament. The USGA on its website calls the LIRR “the most sustainable, affordable and convenient transportation option.”“We have experience working with the LIRR to help bring this to life,” Steimer said during a news conference. “The infrastructure in place is a massive undertaking. This is two-plus years of planning culminating right now.”Getting to Shinnecock is an approximately three- to four-hour train ride from Penn Station, requiring multiple transfers.

Kathy Hochul has struck down as part of a new initiative to reduce red tape and bureaucracy for businesses and individuals that must interact with state government."We're making it easier to build housing and infrastructure, access healthcare and cut down on burdensome fees and paperwork — delivering a more efficient government for every New Yorker," Hochul said in announcing the changes today under her EXPRESS NY initiative.Launched in February, the initiative comes as Hochul, a Democrat, seeks re-election in November to a second full term and faces criticism from Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman.Government bureaucracy and red tape are a key challenge for small businesses. Ten percent said regulations were the single most important problem they face, based on a nationwide survey released last Friday by the advocacy group National Federation of Independent Business.Hochul, who helped her late mother run a flower shop outside of Buffalo in the early 1990s, said the regulatory rollbacks announced today are the first in a series and would reduce state fees and compliance costs by "tens of millions of dollars" for more than 1.5 million people.The changes announced today were recommended by 22 state agencies. Additional rollbacks will come from nearly 4,000 recommendations made by the public between February and April, according to Hochul."Every New Yorker can agree that bureaucratic obstacles stand in the way, wasting time and money," she said in a statement.***Early voting in the Democratic Party primary is underway in New York.Denise Civiletti reports on Riverheadlocal.com that on the east end, two candidates are competing for the Democratic party’s nomination in New York’s First Congressional District: Lukas Ventouras and Christopher Gallant.
