Superchurch Reverend A.R. Bernard, who lives in Smithtown with his family, told the Daily News on Saturday that he plans to leave the area and move to Manhattan.

The move would make him eligible to run for New York City Mayor, something he's been seriously considering.

Bernard, a registered Republican, leads the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, which boasts 37,000 members.

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be made…Read More on a state level not the local level. Boards of Ed are powerless to do any real cost cutting. The state needs to take this on. We need real reform in Albany to reduce the ever increasing pensions and life long benefits that educators enjoy. Combine this with letting Albany decide salary increases for all educators and we can guaranty tax reductions over the next few years. Its that simple, Boards cannot do these. Lets get Albany to move on these NOW!
