Marron’s Community-Mindedness, Environmental Priorities Are Needed in Yorktown

I write to signal my support for Tom Marron, a Yorktown resident who is running for Town Board this year.
Tom is honest, straightforward and down to earth, exactly what we need in an elected official. He cares about his community, which is obvious from his work with scouts and the Grange that others have written about in more depth.
Most significant to me is Tom’s presence in the community and his habit of asking questions. Since he began running for office, I’ve seen Tom at dozens of local events, and he’s come through my neighborhood speaking to residents on multiple occasions.
When we speak, Tom is always aware of what’s going on with the town, and I align strongly with his priorities. Yorktown is too expensive, and we keep building big developments that don’t help our young people stay in the community where they grew up or help our seniors stay in the town they adore.
More recently, we’ve spoken at length about our town’s need to prioritize the environment – especially with the severe flooding that seems to be the new normal. There are not enough wetlands in Yorktown anymore; we need more green ground to soak up the water.
Tom is an engaging speaker and a thoughtful, kind man. I will be voting for him on Tuesday, Nov. 7, and I encourage everyone in Yorktown to support him.
Sincerely,
Dina DiPaola-Gulli
