A GOOD LETTER

A very good letter in today's Times-Herald Record from our Councilman Lorraine McNeill
Mr. Siebold will be my opponent in the race for District 4 Committeeman....

No impropriety

I am writing in response to a letter published July 1 by Donald Siebold of Highland Mills titled "Who's in charge?" where he asks if the supervisor or a builder is in charge of the Town of Woodbury. Would Siebold be asking these questions if the current supervisor was male? After all, how could a poor, female supervisor possibly stand up to a big, bad male builder? And add to that the fact the current Town Board has four women in total. Siebold's letter also indicates that there is some impropriety when he states, "It's all about the money." Hey, Don, if you have proof, bring it on! But let me assure the people of Woodbury that there is no impropriety. This merely is misinformation, repeated often, that certain individuals hope the public will believe. Siebold is a member of the Woodbury Republican Committee, whose chairman is Ralph Caruso. This committee did not endorse Sheila Conroy, the incumbent supervisor. They have endorsed no one for the office. Why? That is a question the public should be asking. Siebold's questions have been answered on numerous occasions at public, televised Town Board meetings. So, folks, it's on the record. What are you going to believe, suppositions presented by a political party committee member or the documented public record? Lorraine McNeill Council member, Town of Woodbury

Good letter Lorraine!!!. I think it is speaks for itself!!! I will certainly be addressing this issue during my campaign to be your Republican Committeeman.

PETITIONS FILED....

It has been awhile since I have posted....wanted to update you all that my petitions have been filed and I am happy that the race to be elected Republican Committeeman here in District 4 has begun.

I want to thank the people who took the time to sign my petition...I thank them for their support now as well as in the past...and I hope I can continue to enjoy it. For those of you I did not get to during the petition process, I hope to soon get to your door and meet you.

My campaign to be elected Republican Committeeman will be about opening up the process to you the enrolled Republican Voter. I foresee a committee that embraces the community, not runs and hides from it. I see a committee that seeks your imput on candidate selection, a committee that educates the public about the political process...a committee whose doors are open not slammed shut in the face of those who are not part of the political elite. Most important of all, a committee that supports it's Republican elected officials...and NEVER abdicates it's responsibilities

Next week I will post here a platform where I will detail more of my ideas. Once again thanks to all those of you who showed your support in signing my petition.

Jim
