Mayone: We can do better
I’m not a politician. If you tuned in for the political discussion on Lighthouse TV you already know that. I’m just a sincere, straight-talking, hard-working businessman who wants to give back to the community as your town highway superintendent. If you give me the opportunity, I will bring to this job the same energy, dedication and skill that served my own customers so well for over 30 years.
So, let me speak frankly. The truth is that the work of a Highway Department is hard, labor-intensive work and there is a right way to do all of it – from potholes to major infrastructure projects, from team-building to skill development. We need better and you deserve a better Highway Department. I have the skills and experience to do this job better for you. I want to give back to this community I grew up in, raised my family in and care about deeply. Yes, we can do better and we must do better. “Good enough” simply isn’t good enough any longer.
No, I’m definitely not a politician, but you don’t need a politician to fix and maintain your roads and the equipment you paid for. Vote for me for your town highway superintendent on and I will show you what skill, hard work, business experience, and integrity can do on your behalf – for our town. Let’s make Saugerties a better place for us all.
In closing, I would like to say thank you to my family and friends for all your hard work on my campaign. I appreciate everything you have done. Also, thank you, town of Saugerties residents. You have welcomed me at events, allowed me to knock on your doors, and invited me in your homes just by reading the newspapers. Your kindnesses are one of the obvious reasons we are known as “friendly Saugerties.”

Myer: Proven ability
As the campaign closes, it’s time to begin sorting through all the propaganda candidates have presented. We have been bombarded with promises of a better future, I can do this or I can do that once in office. I will make changes, changes for the better. Although many dreams surface whenever it’s time to vote for new leaders, solutions to these promises never seem to follow, and the voter is left wondering: “Should I vote for the unknown?”
This candidate promises nothing more than what can truly be delivered. I have kept your Highway Department budgets steady with no increases since taking office. Our FEMA projects are praised by all and we are $1.4 million under budget. We have been approved for 100 percent reimbursement on all FEMA projects. I have increased the Highway Department fund balance by over $600,000 for future equipment purchases or funding for emergencies as they present themselves. The NYSDOT CHIPS allotment for the town is up by 29 percent since I took office. My lists of accomplishments are numerous and they are something I am very proud of.
On Nov. 5 you will be asked to vote for whom you feel is most qualified to fill the position of Highway Superintendent. I believe my record of accomplishments is a promise well kept. It has been my privilege to serve the wonderful taxpayers in the town of Saugerties for the past two years and it would be my honor to represent you for another term. I humbly ask for your support, and when re-elected you will find me, as always, out on the road ahead of the curve in every storm.
“Together we will make a difference.”
Thank you and God Bless.

Superintendent of highways
