Patricia Irving, first elected an Asharoken village trustee in 2003, has decided to challenge Bill Kelly for the mayor’s post in the election June 17. She told The Times of Northport that she decided to run because of the mayor’s handling of a lawsuit against LIPA involving erosion. Kelly has been mayor since 1982.
Seeking re-election, apparently unopposed, are trustees Eric Fauser and Bob Marks. Challengers have until May 13 to file. For Patricia Proven’s story on the situation, click here.
