Readers Write: Martins has proven record of effective service

The Island Now

Getting past all the political rhetoric, there is only one choice for Nassau County Executive! Former state Sen. Jack Martins is a dedicated public official who has consistently demonstrated an ability to work for all constituents.

Both as mayor and state senator he never shied away from difficult problems or controversial issues, while working to obtain positive results.

He is the rare elected official who has been able to “reach across the aisle” in resolving the many issues he has faced in the effort to improve both Mineola and the State of New York.

As former Mayor of Mineola, Jack Martins, through dedicated action, moved this village away from overwhelming debt to a financial stable entity.

He was instrumental in providing the frame work for a master plan that has seen a revitalized downtown. He was involved in infrastructure improvements that have had a major positive impact on the residents of Mineola.

As state senator, Jack, working hand in hand with his colleges regardless of party affiliation.

Along with former state Assemblyperson Michele Schimel he was able to get legislation enacted that has been advantageous to taxpayers across the state.

Jack has the energy, experience and determination to move Nassau County forward and financially stable, which has not happened over the past two administrations.

As a former member of the Herricks Board of Education and currently mayor of Williston Park, I have personally experienced Jack Martins ability which will provide positive direction to all residents of Nassau County.

On Nov. 7, my wife and I ask all to please cast your vote for Jack Martins as every vote will count, in what expects to be a close race.

Paul M. Ehrbar, mayor of Williston Park
