Mike Paduch will listen to people

To the editor: I urge Warwick voters to consider Mike Paduch for New York State Assembly. As an Orange County Legislator for nine years, he worked to eliminate waste and control spending. He opposed salary increases for elected officials, sales and property tax increases and successfully fought to cap the Orange County sales tax on gas. Mike has a long history of public service. He has served on the Wallkill Planning Board and worked to preserve 400 acres of open space without raising taxes. As a dedicated parent, he has been a member of the Pine Bush PTA and coaches Little League. Mike Paduch is a man of integrity who has no interest in negative campaigning. His experience speaks for itself. He is dedicated to finding solutions to the important issues such as school finance reform, job growth, affordable health care and security. He has a proven track record of reducing waste in government, controlling tax increases and building strong government institutions. He is an advocate for working families. To quote Mike: “When politicians don’t listen to the people they serve, government breaks down. That’s what we’ve got in Albany and Washington now. As your Assemblyman, I’ll make sure our community is heard.” I have heard Mike Paduch say this on several occasions and I believe he is committed to positive change. Michelle Desveaux Warwick
