Dear Residents -
With Election Day behind us, I want to once again thank the voters of Orangetown for trusting me to serve as Town Supervisor. I will continue to work hard and always do what I believe is right for the people of Orangetown.
Congratulations to those who won their elections, including Town Councilmen Paul Valentine and Jerry Bottari; our new Orangetown Rockland County Legislators, Tom Diviny, Ray Sheridan and Dana Stilley; and Mayors Joseph Rand and Bruce Tucker. I look forward to working with all of them with a united goal of making Orangetown a better place for all.
I also want to commend those who ran for public office, regardless of party affiliation, but who fell short on votes. While it is easy to complain and criticize elected officials, it is difficult to put yourself out there because you believe that you can make a difference in your community. So, thanks to all candidates for caring enough about Orangetown and Rockland County, and for stepping up to take a vital role in the democratic process.
As a reminder, Town Hall will be closed tomorrow for Veterans Day. Whatever you choose to do, be sure to remember those who put their lives on the line to protect our democracy, our values and our freedom. And a special thanks to Rose Marie Raccioppi, the Orangetown Poet Laureate, for sharing her poem, “In Tribute this Veterans Day, 2023.”
Have a great weekend and stay safe.
Regards,
