2023 Issues

Fix Our Town Town Finances

• We should get our money's worth for the taxes that we pay

• A 2022 audit by the New York State Comptroller found that the Town government "did not adopt realistic budgets or effectively manage fund balances," resulting in excessive, unproductive surplus funds

• The Town has wasted tens of thousands of dollars fighting (and losing) lawsuits brought by Town citizens due to reckless overdevelopment

Invest in Our Villages

• Stop wasting resources on the the failed Route 29 corridor development plan, which has create unwanted noise and traffic for residents

• Start investing in Schuylerville & Victory to grow our local economy, create jobs, and diversify the tax base to reduce residential property taxes

• Partner with New York State Democrats to secure NY Forward funding for critical infrastructure opportunities:

  • Community Center at Fort Hardy Park

  • Ferry Street Events Barn

  • Restoration of Olde Canalway

  • Downtown Building Facade Restoration and Refurbishment

Protect Our Beautiful Lake

• Protect against overdevelopment and storm water runoff, enforce stringent erosion control practices and permitting requirements, save the few remaining patches of forest and erosion prevention

• Protect our property values by partnering with neighboring towns to preserve the natural lands on the lake's coast and within the watershed
