Re-elect DeLucia

Wednesday, 07 October 2009 17:20

I write in support of Town Board member Peter DeLucia’s re-election to our board. I know Mr. DeLucia to be a tireless worker for Lewisboro, an experienced and competent official, and a man of integrity. He has been a cool and practical leader during a time of economic crisis, he (and sometimes he alone) has upheld our home-rule principles in the face of heavy-handed and partisan county encroachment, and he (again, sometimes alone) has challenged the frustrating status quo of limitless taxation and laissez-faire spending.

Equally important, I know Mr. DeLucia to be a man who goes to work every day, who is raising his family in this town, and who respects and cares about the people he represents. These are, unfortunately, qualities and attributes in scarce supply among many who hold elected office, and ones that we can ill afford to squander. Mr. DeLucia’s dedication ensures that Lewisboro continues to be a fine place to live, and for these reasons he deserves our recognition, our gratitude, and, in my view, our votes.
