Clean Drinking Water for Manorville

Manorville Residents are finally getting Clean Drinking Water. For twenty years it has been needed. When I came into office just two years ago, I have publicly fought, wrote letters, held forums and applied for every grant funding option available. Many thought we could never raise the necessary funds but when public health is on the line you never quit.  Today we got it done. Every resident deserves clean water.

PFC Garfield M. Langhorn Day - The Second Friday of October

It was my honor to write legislation so that The Second Friday in October will forever be "PFC Garfield M. Langhorn Day".  Garfield gave his life so that others may live. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his fellow soldiers. He is our local Riverhead Hero and its never to late to say "Thank You."
