Ted Hults, who resigned as East Hampton’s budget director last month, pleaded not guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges yesterday. Hults illegally used funds intended for land preservation to shore up the town’s budget, authorities said yesterday. At one point last year, the town of East Hampton had only $900 in its reserves. Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said Hults and East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill McGintee replenished the preservation money from other sources.
