THE YORKTOWN ELECTION SEASON BEGINS NOW!

Dear Readers:



Let the games begin! On Wednesday (04/20/11) the Yorktown Republican party nominated their candidates for this year’s race for Supervisor and Town Council.

Even though it is as of this writing not official on the Democrat side, we are having a re-match in the Supervisor’s race between incumbent Susan Siegel on the Republican side and former Supervisor Don Peters on the Democrat side.



We have now had two years to judge two distinct styles of governance. Don Peter’s who had top notch people under him and let them do their jobs, and Susan Siegel who micro-managed. There were times when she could be confused with Highway Superintendent, Chief of Police and Town Lawyer. As with most once in office, both candidates had a problem with the definition of “open government”. It will be interesting to see if in November, the voters will continue with the present “Kingdom Of Yorktown” or want a return to the “Town of Yorktown”.



On the Republican Council slate, we have a continuation of the “old guard” with the re-nomination of incumbent Nick Bianco and a familiar face, David Paganelli, owner of the Traveler’s Rest who ran as a Democrat two years ago. As I have said many times in the past, in local elections, party affiliation is not that big a deal. Paganelli, is a case in point. No matter the label, he is a business man who acknowledges and has seen first hand Yorktown’s unfriendly business culture and wishes to use his experience to change that perception so those vacant buildings on 202 and Rt. 6 will again be adding to the town coffers’ through sales tax revenue.



Again though not official, on the Democrat side will be another member of the “old guard” Incumbent James Martorano seeking another term on the council. I have been told by high ranking members in the Democratic circles, that the other open position will be filled by a woman. Two years ago, voters in Yorktown rejected old guard representatives Lou Campisi and Matt Metz. As the business climate in Yorktown has yet to improve, not everything can be blamed on the recession; will voters look in another direction and reject the last two members of the old guard Nick Bianco and James Martorano? This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
