Dear Friend and Neighbor;

On September 13th, I ask for your vote to be the next Supervisor of the Town of Greenburgh. I have talked with thousands of voters who agree that 14 years of this administration is enough. It is time for a change.

It’s time for real leadership in Town Hall. Professional management. Reasoned decision making. A focus on operations analysis and efficiency. Long range planning. And responsible financial management.

I will conduct an operational review of our town government in my first 60 days in office – and I will report the results directly to you.

HERE’S MY 60-DAY ACTION PLAN:

1. I will launch an intensive operational review of the ability of all departments to provide top quality service at minimum cost. Firstfocus: problems reported in the Building Department and the Tax Assessor's Office.

2. Tackle the Town Court mess, including its financial cover-up, administrative mess, and enormous (10 year) backlog. Begin building a permanent staff and end costly reliance on temporary employees.

3. Quantify the dollar penalties of neglecting infrastructure maintenance for political reasons, and lay out a long-range plan for gradually correcting infrastructure problems while maintaining bond ratings.

4. Quantify the need for more police staff and protection, and introduce measures to remedy the lack of parking at the Court/Police headquarters.

5. Develop a comprehensive land-use policy with a stricter “McMansions” law that protects open space and optimizes land use.

6. Review current budgets and work with village and unincorporated Greenburgh leaders to evaluate services needed, and to ensure fair, legal, equitable budgetary

7. I will make these changes. I will help give you a Greenburgh we can afford to live in. A Greenburgh we can be proud of.

My loyalties are anchored in bedrock Democratic Party values I believe you share. This includes a firm, unqualified commitment to a woman's right to choose. Inclusiveness. Villages and unincorpo­rated area working cooperatively. An independent Town Board, without financial campaign ties. Checks and balances are the strength of this country and will be assured in Greenburgh under my leadership. And I will continue my long commitment to open space and conservation.

I am grateful for the overwhelming support of the Democratic Party as its official endorsed candidate, as I am for the endorsement of The New York Times and The Scarsdale Inquirer and the strong support of The Rivertowns Enterprise.

Sincerely,

P.S. Please remember to vote on September 13th.
