Letter from Residents of Clifton park
Dear Neighbor,
Change for the sake of change is not always a good thing, as we have learned. As a neighborhood, we are a diverse group, coming from many different backgrounds. We have lived in many communities and have varied political beliefs. We have chosen to live in Clifton Park. Why? That’s the question we answer here and hope others will remember when considering the upcoming town elections.
1. The
present town board listens to the people.
When a minority of residents, mainly in the Rexford area,
complained about using newly acquired land for sports fields, the
town listened and made the new park passive.
When the
minority complained about new playground equipment at the Commons,
the board changed the plan and is now in the process of refurbishing
the “Castle”, splinters and all.
2.
We are debt free and have money in reserve
A
very important issue, especially in these economic times. It’s nice
to have a surplus when other places are facing deficits.
3.
The town offers great recreation activities and artistic
opportunities for our citizens of
all ages.
Whether you are a 10 year old
kicking a soccer ball on Saturday morning, or a 60 year old enjoying
a game of bocce at the Adult Community Center, the town supports
you.
Whether you like a Broadway
musical, or a swinging “Sirsy”
performance on a warm Summer night, the town supports you.
Want to sing in a chorus?
Play in a band or orchestra?
The town supports you.
Want to bike? The
town has provided the trails for you.
4.
A great school district.
Because of the fact that so
many smart, forward thinking people want to move to Clifton Park,
the school district flourishes.
Shenendehowa is
the envy of many
communities.
We have an
exciting and wonderful community.
Let’s keep it working for all of us.
Why change a good thing?
Please support the candidates running under the Republican
banner this November.
Supervisor Phil Barrett and the entire town board have earned and
deserve our support in November.
They have ours.
How about joining us?
