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.

My mother told me today, “It’s too late.” Yes it is. This community that my ancestors helped to found is forever changed. Change is inevitable, but clear disregard for all that makes this place special, unforgivable [“A Fight Over a...
Nick LaLota the letter writer is not Nick LaLota the congressman who casts votes in the House of Representatives — particularly as it relates to reproductive rights. On the same day that I read Mr. LaLota’s rebuttal to my letter...
A fond wave to Michael Pateman as he leaves the Southampton of his memories and the Southampton of now [“Goodbye,” Letters, August 26]. I remember a wonderful yard sale or two at his and Joanne Pateman’s house where I bought...
