Siegel is the Smart Choice and Best Voice for Yorktown Town Board
Opinion Advocates for ideas and draws conclusions based on the author/producer’s interpretation of facts and data.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t have a beautiful, family-friendly town and an industrial city at the same time. And that, unfortunately, is where Yorktown is headed.
You can’t just allow developers to cut down thousands of trees, pave over wetlands, allow giant solar farms and multiple apartments and townhouses where there used to be single homes and a forest and think we’re headed in the right direction. We are not.
The deforestation and dense building will be added to shortly with several new housing developments, an (expanded?) lithium battery plant, more roads and a huge recycling facility, which are all presently forests. And it won’t stop there.
So, why is this happening? Because the leadership in Yorktown over the past 10 years has largely remained the same. Both the Yorktown Town Board and the Planning Board seem to work almost as one, with little opposition and unanimous decisions as they hand developers everything they ask.
This is a pivotal moment. We need a different candidate, someone knowledgeable, discerning, educated and strong, elected to the Town Board in the upcoming special election on July 23.
This is why I fully endorse Susan Siegel for this position. No one is more qualified for councilperson at this time than Ms. Siegel, a longtime Yorktown resident and former town supervisor. For years, she has attended all of the Town Board meetings, remaining fully fluent in our laws and procedures. She cares about our families, environment and our future and knows how to get the right things done.
