Meet Hurley’s Democratic Challengers - Letter By Tim Kelly
To the Editor: If you have been following the events of the past year in the Town of Hurley — it's starting to look like a reality TV show here. We have lawsuits, problems at the transfer station, conflict between the town board and highway department, and worst of all, opaque finances. This coming Tuesday (April 18), there is going to be a proposal for a nine-month moratorium on new development in the town after town officials suspended the comprehensive planning process over a year ago.
We don't need a moratorium; however, we certainly need change. We need leaders who will heal and move forward here in Hurley. Lawsuits need to be settled, the transfer station needs to be fixed, the highway department needs a permanent home and financial information needs to be shared with the public. It's time to end the reality show and get back to reality.
There is an alternate Democratic slate of candidates that has taken shape, and that slate will be the change that we are in desperate need of. Michael Boms will bring level-headed leadership to the supervisor position and Diana Cline, a lifelong town resident, has a history of service to the town and will bring the steadiness we need.
There will be a meet and greet with this slate of candidates on April 24th at 6:30pm under the pavilion at Dug Hill Park. All are welcome to attend.
