Yorktown Needs Siegel’s Capabilities, Experience on Town Board

For the past several years the Town of Yorktown has been a one-party government. On key issues such as ethics reform, land development, solar arrays, tree preservation and others, there has been little difference of opinion at the Town Board level. The board votes as a unified bloc. Every outcome is predictable. It is time to end this.

On July 23, former supervisor and Town Board member Susan Siegel is on the ballot to again sit on the board. She brings with her many years of community involvement and citizen advocacy. And as anyone who has read her columns or watched her Town Board comments on public access knows, Susan is fearless. She puts in the hours and she comes prepared. Having worked with her on several town issues, including ethics reform and revisions to our tree law, I have seen firsthand her commitment to Yorktown.

In Susan we have an opportunity to add a smart, experienced voice to our Town Board. I urge you to vote for her in this special election.
