I attended a really special tribute to our veterans this morning and was honored to sit with the guys who won WW II and other wars (no I was not with them back then – my service did not start until 1959). A lot of good people came out to show their appreciation for the gifts that their courage and patriotism gave us. Those of you who did not make it this year please plan to join us next year.
While at the special ceremonies I was asked by quite a few citizens if my election to Borough Council held up. Well, I will be sworn in this Tuesday (11/13/07 at 7PM). It would be very nice to see you there.
While I will accept the seat it really belongs to you – the people who put me there and especially our great campaign team. I owe a special thanks to our campaign chairman, Karen Carroll and my energetic running mates – Javier, Tony and Debbie.
Although I'm appreciative of many who helped and contributed to the campaign, I do want to mention always faithful and loyal Democrat, Jean Mangino and her son-in law Brad Higginbottom who served as our treasurer. Of course I can't forget my super-charged son Ben, Jr. who worked tirelessly delivering literature and posting and retrieving lawn signs. He also pushed me to keep campaigning, was our media contact and offered campaign ideas.
I hope that you will take advantage of my position on the council to input your thoughts and desires for how our government should be conducted. I do want to hear from you and I will attempt to keep you informed with what your government is doing. If you are pleased with my performance, that's great. If my choices disappoint you, please tell me (in private) and lets discuss the issue.

Until Next Time,
