Readers Write: Zuckerman a strong advocate

The Island Now

I am writing to express my support for our Councilman Peter Zuckerman for re-election in the 2nd Council District, which includes the villages of East Hills, East Williston, Roslyn Harbor and the hamlets of Albertson, Glenwood Landing, Greenvale, Herricks, Manhasset Hills, Roslyn Heights and Searingtown. 

Zuckerman was appointed councilman by the town board in January 2014 after former councilman Tom Dwyer resigned and won a special election later that November to fill out the rest of the term and is running again this year for his first full four-year term. 

As a longtime resident of the Manhasset Hills, I have had the pleasure of knowing Councilman Zuckerman and have seen his dedication to our communities. 

He has been a strong advocate on issues in the district such as safety improvements at Roslyn Road and Locust Lane, working on renovations and reopening the former Roslyn Country Club as a town park, renovations and improvements at Clark Botanic Garden as well as working with the Herricks community to fight against the recent rash of burglaries. 

Working with Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the rest of the Town Council, they passed the town budget last year within the tax cap before Election Day and are planning to do it again this year and are working every day to make our town government more open and transparent for us. 

If you live in the Second Council District, I hope you’ll support Councilman Zuckerman on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.
