S. Huntington Returns Incumbents to Board
School district's $147-million budget also passes Tuesday.
South Huntington voters approved the budget and returned two incumbents to the Board of Education Tuesday night.
By a vote of 1,583-633, residents approved the $147-million budget, which represents an average tax increase of $306.37 for homeowners.
Incumbents Nick Ciappetta, with 1,572 votes, and Laura Carey, with 1,560 votes, easily beat challenger Cameron Williams, with 680 votes.
"I'm pleased we won re-election and that the community is happy with our leadership," Ciappetta said.
Carey, who was appointed to the board in December to fill the vacancy left when Chad Lupinacci was elected to the State Assembly, said she was "Just thrilled and we'll do our best."
