It will be soon be time to vote in fall elections in the Town of Lansing. Is it at all possible that our registered voters could vote for the best candidates instead of the party? What a refreshing thought!

Ed Lavigne - Present Town Supervisor : proven track record, uncompromising honesty and integrity.

Otto Norman - Town Board : a record of outstanding service to our town while serving as a sheriff's deputy for over 20 years. Town and County State Hunter Education Instructor.

Judy Munson Drake - Town Board : extensive service in Tompkins County and the Town of Lansing, serving on many boards.

Debbie Munson - Town Clerk : dedicated to professionalism.

John Howell - Town Justice : when experience really counts, it is John Howell who will continue to serve honorably as he has for the past 28 years.

Charles Purcell - Town Highway Superintendent : no one better to carry the weight of this position.

I know these outstanding candidates personally and they are all intensely committed to serving our Town of Lansing and concerns of all who they will represent. They are all good listeners and excellent decision makers.
I conclude by stating that all of these candidates play by the rules, are honest, have integrity, and that is a refreshing thought!
