After a long period of reflection, I have decided to step down as Supervisor of the Town of East Hampton, effective immediately.
Although much has been accomplished during my tenure as Supervisor, the past two years have been fiscally difficult for the Town. As Supervisor and the Town’s Chief Fiscal Officer, I accept responsibility for the position we are now in.
I have devoted my entire professional career to the Town of East Hampton and I believe that resigning now is in the Town’s best interest. Ending this matter allows me to provide ongoing assistance to the District Attorney’s office as its investigation continues, and to spend more time with my family.
Deputy Supervisor Pete Hammerle will assume the role of Supervisor until the new administration takes office in January.
I sincerely thank those who have supported me during my time as Supervisor, and I also thank the District Attorney for allowing me to resolve this matter.
