Taking a cue from Southampton's Republican Party, East Hampton democrats are now alleging the town budget officer improperly used town resources. Dems are accusing Len Bernard of campaigning on behalf of supervisor Bill Wilkinson whilst on town time, in a town office, on a town phone and have called for an investigation. While Mr. Bernard admits to contacting the state comptroller regarding some campaign literature, he was "absolutely not" doing so in a political capacity. "Is it November 8th yet? I just want this to be over with," he did not add (but probably wanted to). [Previously, Patch]
