I wish to encourage residents who reside in District 4 to vote for Mary Kay Barket. (District 4 includes all the unincorporated areas of Manhasset: the Strathmores, Norgate, Terrace Manor, the Town Area (Manhasset Park), Spinney Hill, Bayview, and Shorehaven along with the Villages of Kings Point, Great Neck, Kensington, Thomaston, Roslyn, Roslyn, Estates and North Hills.)
Mary Kay Barket will bring a fresh, innovative new voice to our Town Council, with her enthusiasm, personal interest in the area in which she lives and represents, and a strong voice in checking the rise in local taxes.
Mrs. Barket will take credit only for her accomplishments, unlike the current District 4 office-holder, Ms. Kaplan, who takes credit for accomplishments not of her doing. (read: Manhasset Valley Park improvement)
Plandome Road stores, their appearance, parking, and pedestrian safety all need serious attention.
Stores are empty, many are poorly cared for, parking is a perennial nightmare, walking and crossing Plandome Road is down-right dangerous.
Mary Kay will encourage new businesses; support current stores to improve their appearances, and find innovative answers to parking and pedestrian safety.
In other words, Mary Kay Barket will work for Manhasset and all the areas she will represent to improve the quality of life for our local citizens.
Our taxes are through the roof and Ms. Kaplan has voted herself and staff a big raise.
Mary Kay Barket will vote for real fiscal restraint by voting to rescind those raises so that the budget will allow for an adequate workforce in Town Hall.
On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3 just a little over two weeks from now, vote for Mary Kay Barket.
You will not regret it!
Valery Rodi
