Tom Neely has my vote for Southampton Town Board.

Traffic in Southampton Town can cause a 10-mile drive to take an hour at the wrong time of day. Tom’s career has been in transportation, with his work at the Hampton Jitney during 9/11 demonstrating his leadership under extraordinary circumstances.

Tom gets things done through his persistence, innovative thinking and ability to work effectively with people. The South Fork Commuter Connection train and bus service, which he planned and now manages, takes hundreds of vehicles off the road every day. His No. 1 priority on the Town Board will be to pressure the Long Island Rail Road to spend the $262 million in its capital budget for South Fork rail infrastructure improvements.

We will all benefit from cleaner air, reduced road runoff pollution and improved traffic flow when Tom is elected to the Southampton Town Board.
