TERYL DONOVAN - A PROVEN LEADER WORTHY OF YOUR VOTEReceived from Julia Brennan, Sea Cliff
March 8, 2018 To the Editor, I am pleased to support the candidacy of Terryl Donovan for Sea Cliff Village Trustee. I’ve known Terryl and her family for 15 years, having met her when she applied for the position of Director of Fine and Performing Arts at the North Shore CSD, where I served on the Board of Education. Terryl came to the district with a reputation as a gifted manager and quickly exceeded expectations.

March 9, 2018 To the Editor: My wife bought our first house and moved to Sea Cliff twenty years ago. Sea Cliff is a beautiful and secluded Village where life is almost idyllic, a place where all is well until you decide it’s time to do work on your house. I know this well, I’m an Architect. There is a fundamental problem at the building department, the people in charge never held this position before. This is a problem that has been going on for years. These are hard working and dedicated people doing their best to learn on the go, but the ones that pay the price for their inexperience are the residents of this Village. I brought this problem up to the attention of the Mayor and the Trustees in different occasions only to be ignored. READ MORE SUPPORT GOVERNOR'S EARLY VOTING PROPOSALReceived from Emily Reiger, Sea Cliff
February 20, 2018 To the editor, I am a young Sea Cliff resident and I am writing to you because I am concerned with the lack of voter turn out in New York state. I noticed that governor Cuomo included early voting in his 2018 budget plan, which would be a great first step in fixing this issue. Although New York prides itself in being a progressive state, it is the forty first in the country when it comes to voter turn out, largely because the polls are open for one day. This one-day voting system makes it extremely difficult for working people and students who essentially must choose between work or school, and making it to the polls on time. READ MORE |

WHAT'S WRONG WITH SEA CLIFF?Received from Robin Kennedy, Sea Cliff,
March 13, 2018 To the Editor: Last year a group of people who claim to love Sea Cliff and want to keep it great formed a group called Sea Cliff Open Government Party. Their platform is transparency, participation & collaboration. What puzzles me is how they think Sea Cliff became the beautiful, non pretentious village that it is. We are people who live together peacefully and work together to maintain a feeling of community and calm. READ MORE YOU NEED TO WALK BEFORE YOU CAN RUNReceived from Elena Villafane, Sea Cliff,
March 12, 2018 To the Editor: Choice - a simple concept with complex ramifications. Some choices are easy, with little to no impact on your life and can be made without thought or consideration: vanilla or chocolate; coffee or tea. More often, choices have larger implications and require more than a knee jerk response. Important choices call for careful consideration of the relative merits of the options offered.

ALL IN FOR KEVIN AND HENRIETTEFrom Fred Eisenstein, Sea Cliff
March 14, 2018 To the Editor: I am writing this letter in strong support of the Civic Progress slate of highly trusted Trustee Kevin McGilloway, and new candidate, Henriette Rohl, a star member of Sea Cliff’s own farm-team of energetic and committed volunteers. I’ve been a resident and more-than-casual observer of Sea Cliff doings for over 35 years. If you’re somewhat new to Sea Cliff, you may not know that behind every Civic Progress trustee is a deep bench of volunteers. They’re sitting on boards and committees, (wo)manning our museums, music and events. READ MORE BE ACTIVE, TAKE ACTION, MAKE A DIFFERENCEReceived from Cindy Pabst, Glen Head
March 17, 2018 To the Editor: I spent the day today knocking on doors. I'm not selling anything and I don't want any money. I am a volunteer for Tom Suozzi, Congressional Representative for the Third District, New York State. All I wanted is for you to sign my Democratic Designating Petition so that Tom Suozzi can continue to do the good work he is doing for his constituents in the third district.

The letter speaks of how wonderful Sea Cliff is, and has been, and says that a group of residents who “claim to love Sea Cliff”, calling themselves Sea Cliff Open Government are doing nothing but creating division.
