Thanking voters for your support

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the numerous village voters who came out to vote on June 17 and cast a vote for me to continue to serve our village as a Village Trustee.

The past two years we have seen improvements to the village, including new sidewalks and field improvements to Eddie Collins Park, and we see more good works in the pipeline for additional sidewalk work, the construction of a new swimming pool at the Park and, hopefully one day, a community wastewater system.

Unfortunately, the Village suffered a huge loss this past winter with the fire and total destruction of its highway garage, trucks, police vehicles and our municipal water control system.To completely replace those losses and rebuild anew will be a multi-year task.Everyone in village government, including the Mayor and the Trustees has their work cut out for them.

I, as a Trustee, will do my best to help bring these matters along to a sound solution; to continue the work to improve our sidewalks and streets; and to keep Millerton the place to for all of us to call our home.

Dave Sherman
