In Support of Curti for Village Justice and Mazer for Village Trustee

(This letter was written by Tim Foley)
Dear Editor,
I have been privileged to get to know Michael Curti, the candidate for Village Justice running on the non-partisan slate this year, in two very different contexts.

When I first met him, I merely knew him as my new across-the-street neighbor. Over the years, it's been a delight to get to know him, his wife Gina, and his kids and watch them become a fixture of the neighborhood, particularly around holidays and the "town square" that is the morning school bus stop. I've experienced again and again what a fundamentally decent and generous person he is, and how supportive and even keeled his temperament has been in all my interactions with him.

Gradually I became more and more aware of his stature within the Westchester County legal realm, as our professional circles began overlapping more and more. I soon learned that everyone who I know who has encountered Michael, be it when he was Corporation Counsel for the City of Yonkers, or when he was a Westchester County Assistant District Attorney, or from a particular matter that appeared before one of the local Industrial Development Agencies, shared that he was the same person professionally as he was personally -- thorough, detail-oriented, and a first class legal mind combined with the same even-keeled temperament and quiet decency.

For Scarsdale, the proof is in the pudding. He has served admirably as Acting Village Justice. His career has been clearly focused on public service and the public good. With Michael Curti, what you see is what you get, and what everyone has seen is exactly the qualities we'd wish to have in a Village Justice. I encourage all of my neighbors to vote for him on March 19!

Dear Scarsdale 10583,

I read the recent interview with Village Trustee Ken Mazer and was inspired by the dedication to service Ken and all our Village Trustees bring to our exceptional community. The countless hours our Trustees volunteer on our behalf are a model for governance, especially in a time where many of our national leaders seem unable to work with their colleagues in an effective manner.

Ken Mazer is a long-time friend and Scarsdale neighbor, and I am proud to support him for another term as a Trustee. His thoughtful approach to many issues, from housing development to water management to recreation opportunities, balances the needs of our community in a fiscally prudent manner.

We are fortunate to have leaders in our town like Ken who keep our Village one of the most desirable places to live in the country. I will be proud to vote in our upcoming election.
