Readers Write: Phillips’ record is strong

The Island Now

We are writing to wholeheartedly endorse our mayor, Elaine Phillips, for the New York State Senate’s 7th District.
Mayor Phillips successfully used the skills she gained in the private sector to cut taxes for village residents four years in a row, even as services improved to residents. 
Our government is more open and transparent, and meetings of our village board are more accessible and welcoming to our fellow residents.
We are proud of our track record under Elaine Phillips’ leadership, and others have begun to notice too. 
Our tree planting program, which Elaine started in the wake of Superstorm Sandy earned national recognition and won Flower Hill a coveted “Tree City USA” environmental designation.
It’s no wonder Flower Hill recently was named one of the best places in the entire nation to live and raise a family.
Elaine is a hardworking leader who cares about people and cares about her community. 
It’s been a great privilege working with Elaine on the local government level, and as some of the people who know her best, we are confident that she will serve your community and the entire New York State Senate’s 7th District well as our next state senator.
Robert McNamara
On behalf of the trustees of the Village of Flower Hill
