I write to urge the residents of Great Neck Plaza to vote for Ted Rosen for mayor of our village.
I met Ted about twenty years ago. He and I were opposing counsel in what was initially a bitterly contested, commercial litigation between business partners. Ted is a very good lawyer and a tough adversary, but he was always honorable and a man of his word. It is a testament to Ted that after the litigation ended, we became friends which we remain to this day.
Our friendship resumed sometime later when I moved to the Plaza. I became active in the village. I became the chairperson of the Great Neck Plaza Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee. In that capacity, I had the opportunity to work with Ted who was also active on that committee as a representative of the village government. I saw firsthand from that experience that Ted was hardworking and was keenly focused on finding ways to improve pedestrian and traffic safety in the village. He welcomed the participation, opinions, and ideas from myself and my fellow residents who were members of the committee. He was always receptive to new ideas and new possible solutions to pedestrian and traffic issues. He sought to come up with solutions by building consensus if there were differing views.
Ted has the intelligence, skills, and dedication that make him highly qualified to be our mayor. I am voting for Ted Rosen for mayor and I ask all of my fellow residents to do the same.
