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.

A few weeks ago, the Magdalen appeared out of nowhere. At first, I lightheartedly thought she was a Navy frigate sent to investigate the drone sightings. When I realized she is a “hopper dredger” and saw some tracking information on...
