Matthew Flusser's Letter to the Editor April 24, 2013


Once again we stand at a fork in the road regarding who to vote for in our Village of New Paltz election. We do this in the context of making important choices about our village, town, state, country, and the world. As such, we must have people in power who are willing to make informed, tough decisions that will affect our lives and, more importantly, take us in a direction that will positively affect our children and our children’s children. We can’t make the mistake of voting for people who will only look at the short term bottom-line instead of taking thoughtful, sustainable actions for good over the long term.
Let’s take the positive, proactive route and vote for Rotzler and Kerr for village board. They not only care about the right issues but also have proven track records and experience to get things accomplished. We want better things for New Paltz and we can’t allow stagnant government systems and entrenched party machines to set us back. Let’s be able to look back in a few years and say we did it - that we have built and continue to have a village that is looked upon in America as a model of sustainability and acceptance. Don Kerr and Rebecca Rotzler can take us there - join me in writing in their names on May 7th.
