To the editor:

As my retirement date fast approaches, I would like to express my thanks to the village residents for their support over the past 26 years. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve our community. Without that support and the support of our board members and staff, it would have been an impossible task. I am especially proud of the fact that the support I have received from our residents has been beyond party affiliations and truly feels like “neighbors representing neighbors.”

Our accomplishments as a village government are widely recognized and our quality of life in the village of Liverpool is highly desirable as evidenced by the very competitive real estate market. Our police department, DPW, code enforcement, justice court and clerk services are second to none.

We have numerous initiatives and projects underway in the village that are in various stages of completion. The planning, research and negotiations are ongoing and require the full knowledge and effort of our mayor and board of trustees to be successful. Trustee Christina Fadden is fully engaged in every phase of these projects and initiatives. With her years of village government experience and active participation, she will provide the continuity of purpose necessary to move the village forward and lead our efforts. Chris is fully prepared and committed to serve as our next mayor.

I am pleased to support Christina Fadden as our next mayor and sincerely request that you support her, as you have supported with your vote on June 20. Chris will need the support of her team of board members to provide that continuity of purpose, so pleased vote June 20 to re-elect our experienced and knowledgeable Trustee Dennis Hebert and our well qualified new board member candidate, Ryan Miller.

Gary White

Mayor, Village of Liverpool
