Vote Creighton and Malloy for Smithtown

Remember that Pat Vecchio and Tom McCarthy have said they are voting NO to the Uplands at St. Johnland. They did so prior to getting the Environmental Impact Study that the board requested from St. Johnland. The 2 No votes effectively kill the project. This Ad contains "Facts" from St. Johnland regarding the uplands. While there are some interesting statements made we do not know if they are true and have not fact checked the statements. That isn't the point. The point is that Vecchio and McCarthy pandered to a group of civics in an election year without a full public discourse on a very important project. They made statements prematurely. In doing so, they have closed the public debate about the project. How many other times has Pat Vecchio said no to particular project, idea or concept for this town? How many other ideas never see the light of day because he decided NO?

It is time to stop letting Pat Vecchio make uneducated decisions. It is time that we elect a leader who listens to ideas, makes tough decision and implements a plan of action. In our opinion the only candidate for supervisor who has promised to do so is Robert Creighton. If and when your project comes to town hall: a park, a restaurant, an addition to your house; don't you expect an effective government to consider all the facts prior to making their decision? We do.
