Who Should Run Against Vecchio?

Smithtown Supervisor said he will seek a 13th term. But who, Republican or Democrat, should he face?

Long Island's longest sitting town supervisor, Smithtown's Patrick Vecchio, has his eye on a record 13th term in office. But whether he wins one depends on whether he can once more get more votes than his opponents.

But who exactly will those opponents be?

As news of Vecchio's plans continue to engage Patch readers in our Smithtown communities, we'd like everyone to take a moment and let us know who they think should run against the supervisor. It could be a Republican you'd like to see challenge him in a primary or a Democrat you hope takes him on in a general election. We'll keep this list going for about a week and then we'll create a poll to find out who the most popular candidates are in town.

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be madeRead 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!
