TOWN BOARD


Town Government, at its best, should be about balancing the needs of our growing community. This includes preserving land that is crucial to protecting our water resources and rural assets, but also encouraging the right kind of development in the right places. Supporting a thriving business community in the hamlet is just as important as assuring that our farmers can keep their farms profitable and that those who work in our community can afford to live in our community.

I might run for Town Board someday. For now, I'm playing in the improved Majestic Park.

ACCOMPLISHMENT, CONTINUITY AND VISION


The Gardiner Democratic Committee is looking forward to a program of greater outreach into the community. We are considering community service, entertainment, and providing information to help people negotiate these difficult times. We are also considering several fund raisers and ways to honor those who have served Gardiner.

Democrats have held important offices in recent years and Gardiner has never looked better. The town has been experiencing immense growth, but we are going forward constructively due in large measure to our elected and appointed officials. The Democratic Committee has been working behind the scenes, but it is now time that we get out there, and there is much to do.

If you want to join us, come to a meeting and see what they are like. We meet on the third Thursday of every month. The next step is to call Leon Steiner at 845-255-3963 and discuss your interest with him. We look forward to working with you, doing good for the community, and giving you access to the workings of our local politics.

INFORMATION FOR THESE DIFFICULT TIMES

Do you know anyone who cannot afford to heat their homes this winter? Heating costs have soared, the economy is wobbly, and for some this winter has become an ordeal. The national policies on energy have done little to help those in need. We hope you have followed how Republicans have favored the wealthy while the poor and middle class have fallen on hard times.

If you know someone who is hard pressed and cannot afford the cost of heating their homes, there is a program designed to help. Funds have been cut but there may still be some assistance available. HEAP of New York provides grants for those needing help. HEAP can be reached at 1-800-255-7857 or at the emergency number 1-800-342-3009.

as Gardiner grows over the next 10 years ... its rural qualities must be protected by insuring that the key decisions are made by concerned, knowledgeable residents and members of the Town Board, not by outsiders or others trying to advance their self-interest.
