In the Running

I am announcing my candidacy for East Hampton Town supervisor. Our town government needs a renewed sense of direction, one that emphasizes fiscal discipline, professionalism and public service. For the past five years as mayor of East Hampton Village, I have managed budgets that kept taxes among the lowest in our region while expanding services and improving quality of life. We invested in community programs, enhanced public safety, and supported events that celebrate our shared identity, from concerts at Main Beach to the Hamptons Pride Parade. Earlier this year, I was honored when the New York State Democratic Committee asked ... by Staff Writer

Oversight Failure

The damage that occurred in late October did not just happen because of severe ... by Staff Writer
