Remember our Children on November 3rd - Help Get the Right candidates into Islip Town Hall

Islip, NY - A few years back, I remember the emotions of being SHOCKED and Saddened when I read that Islip's Town Goverment was allowing TOXIC Dumping at one of our Town Parks.  When all was said and done officials figured out that about 50,000 tons of waste had penetrated our beautiful park, which led to six people being charged with illegal dumping.
My daughter has enjoyed so many of the parks throughout Suffolk County. We've lived in a cramped apartments  - and our parks have given her a chance to run and play in the fresh air.
Since then, I believe it's crucial that we elect new representatives to serve on our Town Board.

I recently learned that Supervisor-candidate Tom Licari and Council-candidate Chris Pulitano will have a press conference on the steps of Islip Town Hall that will ban anyone who earns a contract from the town for $25,000 or more from contributing to a candidates campaign.
Let's get down there and show the current administration that we need change - and change will start with the Licari Reform Team!

Be there : The Steps of Islip Town Hall, 655 Main Street Islip at noon on Thursday October 22nd.
