I think people are tired of all of the politics that all too often is “business as usual” for their elected representatives. In my first term as County Legislator, I have tried to focus on getting things done for the people I represent in the Towns of East Greenbush, North Greenbush and Poestenkill.  The following have been my priorities:

·      Good Government: I have opposed property tax increases and pay raises for elected officials.  I have donated my $5000 raise to charities.

·      Improved Quality of Life: I have championed better planning and the I-90 Connector Project in North Greenbush to encourage Smart Growth in the County.

·      Recreational Trails: I secured grant funding to complete a trail vision plan for Rensselaer County and to conduct a feasibility study for a rail-trail through East Greenbush.

·      Support for Local Businesses: I worked with the East Greenbush Business Alliance to strengthen businesses on Columbia Turnpike and Route 4 in East Greenbush.

·      Support for Schools: I led efforts to offer Chinese language instruction in Rensselaer County high schools. 

·      Making Government More Efficient: I championed cooperation between the County and East Greenbush sewer districts to reduce operating and capital costs for taxpayers.

It has been an honor to serve the residents of East Greenbush, North Greenbush and Poestenkill in the legislature and I look forward to the opportunity to continue to work hard on behalf of my constituents.

Thank you for your support!
