Community activist from Northampton announces plan to run for Southampton Town Board

Thank you for your support To clarify the event is An Evening With the Rat Pack.They are a world class tribute act and Dean Martin is the son of a local resident. It is clearly my intention to hit the ground running and the commitment is to the people of Southampton. I consider myself a community leader and not an activist which infers that I have an agenda that I clearly do not, unless standing for the people of this great place we call home an agenda.I look forward to meeting and speaking with everyone and will be stopping by at at local events and community meetings."

A call for PDD moratorium in Southampton Town; Supervisor willing to consider dropping controversial planning tool

The Town of Southampton is the only local government that uses this supposed planning tool. Have we (the taxpayers) not paid hundreds of thousands of dollars on study after study, master plans, blight studies and revitalization studies that all end up on a shelf in a back room to be forgotten. We have current zoning in place for a reason. Enough is enough. A moratorium is a great idea, abolishment may be a better alternative." Oct 2, 10 8:28 AM

Does Throne-Holst have support for a Planned Development District moratorium?

It seems that the public will not get the chance to be heard on the subject of a moratorium as a resolution to hold a public hearing on the subject was voted down.
It is important that the current process of cleaning up the PDD legislation is closely scrutinized and that definitions and accountability are built in that can assure a true substantial public benefit. " Oct 12, 10 10:52 PM

Despite Objections, Southampton Town Board Appoints OTB Official To Top Management Post

Once again political horse hockey at its finest. Do we not recall the walk on resolutions that the power of three used to fill the vacant appointed board positions earlier this year, the budget last minute resolutions, now this backdoor appointment.
Lets get real here, is there another board room we don't know about, something fishy is going on in town hall and it stinks." Nov 30, 10 7:50 AM

New Housing Plan For Homeless Sex Offenders Passes Legislature

Then what do you suggest as an alternative? Currently the county spends millions rounding them up and taxiing them to Riverside to the jail parking lot, no not inside in a protected area but outside where they are free to rome the Towns of Southampton and Riverhead as they see fit. No counseling, no oversight, no assurance from anyone that our community is being protected. It is mandated by law that these people are housed and is the duty of Suffolk Social Service to do so but is it the Town of Southampton's responsibility to be the dumping ground for all these people. The current program is a waste of time and money." Dec 28, 10 8:49 PM

Civic Association Members Call For President's Resignation

It is with my best intention to move from the Community Association into local government to continue to be a stand for the people that are under represented.
I have always put the community first, providing toys at Christmas to families in need, school supplies to our elementary school, food for our seniors and winter coats to our grade school children in need.
This was truly a partisan representation of a select few and by no means the pulse of the membership. I believe the people of Flanders, Riverside and Northampton look forward to the day they have true representation in Town Hall" Feb 16, 11 10:18 PM

IRS info to clarify: "To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition it may not be an action organization,i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates."

Let me make this very clear FRNCA does not participate in any campaign activity nor does it support any candidates. Nowhere does the code mention that a person within an organization can or cannot participate in political activity outside of the organization.

Again our elections are on April 11th and as always all seats are available.

Sorry, FLRalph I do not have a fake membership, but when i do post it's obvious Unfortunate that when somebody actually cares about the community they are chastised for it. " Feb 20, 11 1:13 PM

Iconic Lobster Inn Is Sold, Condos Could Be Future

The real problem is that Condo's are taxed at 50% of the assessed value and are a drain to the community. This should be opposed and as of of right considered.
