It’s rare, in these days of political turbulence and social media, that good people are willing to put themselves out there as a candidate for public office. We are fortunate that Bill Parash has decided to jump in and seek election to the Trustees of the Town of Southampton.
Born and raised here, Bill has a true understanding and appreciation of how special Southampton is. He is committed to protecting public access to our beaches and waterways, and to addressing the problems of our fragile natural ecosystems.
Ever since the Dongan Patent of 1686, the Trustees have played a critical role in the stewardship of our bays and waterways. As an attorney, Bill brings invaluable credentials and would be a real asset to the Trustees, considering the seemingly endless litigation that they face.
I am happy to strongly support Bill for Trustee and urge you to cast your ballot for Bill Parash on Election Day.

Broken SouthamptonWhat was once a charming park, alive with birds, butterflies and bunnies, is now a dust bowl of holes, trash and construction debris. The bird feeders at Moses Park are flat on the ground, flies have replaced the wildlife, and...
Save the VillageI met with Mayor Bill Manger and the head of the Building Department, Chris Talbot. We agreed to explore a plan to help reduce the number of cars on our roads. Now, it’s a matter of following through on this...
Job Well DoneSundy Schermeyer first ran for Southampton Town clerk in 2006 and beat her opponent. She ran a second time unopposed, and when she ran for third, fourth and fifth terms, she was cross-endorsed by both the Republican and Democratic parties....
In This TogetherI attended both “No Kings” rallies in June and again last Saturday. The spirit of both were identical: We are a community of Americans, coming together, expressing ourselves in the most American of ways — by demonstrating and marching. Both...
