Sag Harbor

I had a friend in Sag Harbor who had a PhD in economics and spent his life as an official in the United Auto Workers, first as an organizer, later as a negotiator with automakers for big union contracts.

Justin Timberlake was humble and focused outside court Friday after pleading guilty to a reduced charge in his Sag Harbor DWI case.

Justin Timberlake performed a public service announcement in front of the Sag Harbor Police Department on Friday, shortly after pleading guilty to driving while impaired.

And while Burke, whose office is in Sag Harbor, went out of his way to thank almost every part of Suffolk County law enforcement and the courts, Timberlake was serious and self-critical when he spoke.

He said that he had been raised in a small town and understood the strain his situation had placed on the people of Sag Harbor.
