I have lived in the Roslyn School District for 31 years, and the past seven have been exceptional, in large part due to the contributions Adam Haber made on our school board.
He pushed us to refinance our debt, consolidate our bus routes, and renegotiate our broadcast rights with Cablevision.
These ideas were all unique to Roslyn, and they started with Adam Haber.
I voted to put him on the Board of Education seven years ago because he promised he would find new ways to save money, and he delivered.
We haven’t cut teachers, we’ve preserved and added programs, and our district has boasted the lowest budgetary increases in all of Nassau each year he’s been on our board.
I’ve had some personal contact with Adam Haber, and I’ve found him a sincere, caring, family man with lots of integrity.
He showed real leadership after Super Storm Sandy, creating food and clothing drives and personally delivering supplies to the South Shore.
Adam is an experienced “2nd responder,” who worked with All Hands Volunteers on disaster response missions in Mississippi (after Hurricane Katrina) and in Haiti (after the big earthquake).
That’s why Adam knew to bring them to Long Island after Sandy, where they established projects in Long Beach and Staten Island, restoring more than 200 homes.
In July of 2015, Adam received an appointment to the Nassau Interim Finance Authority.
Just like he did in Roslyn, Adam quickly began recommending improvements.
Thanks to Adam, NIFA implemented a Contract Approval Request Form, making it easier for NIFA directors and the public to research important disclosures of pending contracts.
This change is a much-needed step in the right direction, to make our local government transparent.
Adam Haber has a proven track record of leadership, and his innovative ideas and ethics are sorely needed. I am confident he will bring the change we so desperately need.
Please join me Nov. 8, in voting for Adam Haber, Democrat for New York State Senate, District 7.
