In our previous article titled "Kiely and Schiavoni Vie for Open Assembly Seat" by Raheem Soto, published on March 13, 2024, we would like to correct the following statements: We previously stated that Mr. Tommy John Schiavoni was absent during the first six months of his initial term on the town council. However, upon further review, we found that he attended all official board meetings except 1. However, he was absent from several of the first work sessions for the town board from January to April 2018, according to the official roll call of the Southampton Town Board records.
Additionally, we reported on a civil rights employment discrimination lawsuit against Mr. Schiavoni's 2020 senate campaign filed by Emily Dwyer. We incorrectly stated that the lawsuit was pending before Judge George Nolan in Suffolk County Courts, Supreme Court. In fact, Judge George Nolan dismissed the case in October 2023. We apologize for any misunderstanding caused by our previous reporting on this matter.
