There are two lists of candidates who represent a group that have misled and, at times, outright lied to the citizens of Woodbury in the past. They have blatantly executed their own agenda under the guise for the good of the people only to bear nothing but increased taxes and little else.
These are the same people that tried to force-feed Woodbury their version of the Taj Mahal and call it a 9.5 million dollar municipal building. I personally caught Mr. Sutz and Mr. Queenan on an outright lie during the hearing forced upon the then town and village boards by concerned citizens after they had voted for the building. Their other “facts” were found to be severely slanted to their views.
Luckily the citizens of Woodbury thwarted their “vision” through a citizen-led referendum.
Now this same group wants Woodbury voters to put them back into office, as in the case with Mr. Sutz, or have a handpicked successor to become mayor as in the case of Mr. Egan. Mr. Egan was recently deposed in the current town/village lawsuit stating that he voted for whatever Mr. Queenan wanted without even knowing anything about it.
That is not an example of leadership to me.
The balance of their tickets may not have been involved but they are highly suspect since they too were handpicked by those that haven proven that they will not Save Woodbury.
That is why I am voting for the tickets of Palermo, Etzel,and Burke for the Town Board and Frieband, Hebel and Sethna for the Village board. They will work with the people of Woodbury, freely provide information and welcome feedback before acting like Mr. Palermo has done on the Central Valley Swimming Facility renovation.
Between now (remember early voting is available) and November 5, I urge all of Woodbury to join me in voting for the tickets of Palermo/Etzel/Burke and Freiband/Hebel/Sethna. Keep (for the town) and bring back (for the village) civil and responsive leadership.
