As a member of the Southampton Village community, I am writing in support of Gina Arresta, who is running for reelection to the Southampton Village Board on June 17.
Gina, a Southampton resident for over 30 years, is dedicated deeply to the well-being of the village and all of its residents.
With a strong background in business and finance, Gina is focused on governmental fiscal responsibility and transparency. She also is committed to environmental conservation, supporting the enhancement of water quality and improvement of infrastructure in the Southampton Village. Another key goal is to ensure that the village business area is clean, beautiful and vibrant.
Gina has the organizational skills to get things done. Her business experience and community service, combined with her resourcefulness and dependable character, make Gina an ideal choice to continue as a Southampton Village trustee.

It has taken me a few weeks to respond to the recent “Cup o’ Joe” newsletter, where Executive Editor Joe Shaw ventured onto an editorial limb, venting about village issues, particularly the controversy surrounding Pond Lane. Let’s set the record...
