Three Seek Re-Election

With the East Hampton Village Board election coming up on June 21, the news this week is that Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr., Deputy Mayor Barbara Borsack, and Richard Lawler, a  trustee, are running for re-election. No nominating petitions from others, who might be considering opposing them, had come in by press time, although they can be filed through Tuesday.

At a special meeting of the village board on Tuesday, Pam Bennett, the deputy clerk, and June Lester, secretary to the board, were appointed election inspectors for the  election. The board also authorized Becky Molinaro, the village administrator, to appoint substitute inspectors for any vacancies. Substitutes would be paid $20 an hour, or their current rate of pay if they are village employees.

Residents who are not yet registered to vote can do so at the Yaphank office of the Suffolk County Board of Elections until June 10. Applications to register can be found  at the village office or online. They are due back at the elections board, also on June 10.
