As a candidate for East Hampton Town Board I believe the positions of responsibility I have held over the past 45 years will continue to make me an effective and strong leader. I have a vast knowledge and understanding of government operations and activities. Over the last 23 plus years I have worked with State, County and local officials in preparing reports, writing local laws and developing budgets. Over the last 13 plus years I have attended over 800 town board meetings and listened to the issues discussed by the town board and our residents. I am familiar with the current CSEA contract and the Town budget process. I will continue to work with the staff in Town Hall and the town board members to serve the residents of East Hampton with fairness and the respect they deserve regardless of party affiliation.
