I would like to thank the voters of North Haven who supported me in the election for trustee last week.
Throughout the process, I met many people who truly care about North Haven, and it was great to hear their views and opinions. It was good for the voters to have a choice of candidates in this election for the first time in many years.
I look forward to collaborating with Mayor Jeff Sander and my fellow trustees, as well as with the other village boards. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the community and look forward to doing the best job I can for all of North Haven.

What Are We Doing?In Michael Daly’s April 1 Letter to the Editor [“Forward, Not Back”], he writes, “Hi, it’s me again. Your good conscience whispering in your ear.” Well, let me whisper in the other ear while using data and a calculator. Multifamily...
Stop the PollutionI am confused. In today’s Newsday, there is an article about a landscaper, Affa Organics, who is being fined $100,000 for damage to the Pine Barrens. He apparently chopped down trees, bulldozed land and excavated soil and is now required...
