Becallo for Cicero Town Board

To the editor:

I am writing to encourage residents of the town of Cicero to support Mike Becallo for Town Council in the upcoming election.

As a former GOP committee member in Cicero, I have seen first hand the way things often get done in this town. As a result, Mike is a breath of fresh air to me. In his time in office, he would frequently take heat from lifelong politicians because he had the audacity to actually represent the people of the town, rather than simply bend to the whims of developers, donors, and friends.

One of my favorite things that Mike did was go out and speak with the people of Cicero, who expressed through their signatures, that they wanted a chance to vote on spending millions of dollars on a new town barn, rather than having a few people simply push through a massive expense and subsequent long term tax increase without having the opportunity for the people to speak. I am someone who saw the need for the new building, but wanted us to have the chance to vote on it. It was shocking to me that many of Mike’s current opponents were opposed to letting the people have the opportunity to be heard. Mike stood tall in the face of scrutiny from influential people, many of whom hurled insults and rumors, simply because he was brave enough to do what is right.

We need more people who will do the right thing, regardless of what it means politically. Mike Becallo is someone that we can trust to do that as he has a proven track record of doing so. In a time where New York State is seeing record numbers of people leaving, largely due to government gone wild in favor of a few, we need people on the local level who can be counted on to not sit back and let that happen. Mike has a consistent record of being a watchdog and looking out for the needs and concerns of the people in our town.

I encourage you all to come out and vote for Mike Becallo, a man with integrity who will look out for you and can be counted on to do the right thing.

To the editor:

I’m sending this letter to recommend Michael Becallo for Cicero Town Councilor.

We’ve known Michael for years and would recommend him as a member of the Cicero Town Board.

He has experience, dedication and a passion for making a difference. He has grown up in the community and has roots firmly planted in the area. While working full-time he dedicates his time to the volunteer fire department, and is a member of the Onondaga County Office of Aging Board and other local organizations.

He brings experience to the position as well as commitment and a determination to make a difference in the role and the community he resides.
