I write to you today to endorse Jim Gounaris and Henry Zanetti for re-election to the Herricks School Board.
Mr. Gounaris continues to show he has the intellect, values and passion for this position. He and his running mate stand for controlling taxes, safety for the members of this community and continuance of high educational goals for all our children. During Jim Gounaris’ tenure on the school board he has advocated for new initiatives to keep Herricks Schools at the forefront of education excellence. Together with his running mate, Henry Zanetti, the district’s annual budgets have successfully passed year after year, and since the implementation of the 2 percent tax cap, their average tax increase has been 1.57 percent.
As family men, they are in close touch with the services that this entire community needs, and they continue to have the energy to fight for them. I believe that their efforts will continue to protect the values of our homes and keep our property values high.
As an educator, parent, and resident I ask you to cast your vote and re-elect Jim Gounaris and Henry Zanetti as trustees on the Herricks School Board and to vote yes on the current budget proposed. Our students, families and community can do no better than these fine men and this budget. Mail your ballots back in as soon as they are delivered. Our community is counting on you.
