The Best Value Platform for the Residents
A Leader That Will Answer Only to the Residents
Fiscal Conservatism
As your next Clarkstown Supervisor, I pledge an unwavering commitment to fiscal conservatism to protect your tax dollars and secure our town’s financial future. My platform is built on the principles of responsible budgeting and eliminating wasteful spending. I will conduct a comprehensive review of all town expenditures to identify and cut unnecessary costs, ensuring every dollar is spent efficiently and effectively. We will prioritize debt reduction and maintain a stable tax rate by fostering a lean and accountable government. I believe in giving residents the best possible services without placing an undue burden on their wallets. Elect me, and let’s bring common-sense financial discipline back to Clarkstown.
Full Transparency
The Bondar Administration will usher in an era of full transparency in Clarkstown government. Residents have a right to know exactly how their tax dollars are being spent and how decisions are being made. I will implement a “Click-to-See” platform that provides immediate, easy access to all town contracts, budgets, Town Council resolutions, meeting minutes, and financial reports—making them accessible not just on paper, but online in a searchable, user-friendly format. We will live stream all public hearings and Town Council meetings. And will reform the town’s procurement process to be open and competitive, ending backroom deals and insider influence. Transparency is the foundation of trust. Elect me, and we will open the books and shine a bright light on every aspect of our town’s operations, ensuring our government is accountable to you, the taxpayer.
Government Accountability
Clarkstown deserves a government that is accountable to its residents, not just to special interests. My administration will shift the power dynamic back to the people by establishing clear metrics for performance and enforcing real consequences for failure. This means moving beyond mere transparency to active responsibility. I will institute regular, public performance audits of all departments and hold town leadership directly responsible for meeting efficiency and service goals. Furthermore, I will strengthen the powers of the Ethics Board and establish an independent citizen review panel to ensure fair, impartial oversight of town actions. No one in government should be above scrutiny. Elect me, and we will build a town hall where accountability is non-negotiable, and your voice truly holds the government to account.
Responsive Government
As your Supervisor, I will ensure that Clarkstown’s government doesn’t just run, it listens and responds. My commitment is to create a town hall where residents are treated as partners, not as problems. I will implement a 24/7 Citizen Response System to track and expedite resident inquiries, ensuring every call, email, and request receives a timely, substantive answer and resolution. We will establish regular “Open Office Hours” across every hamlet and village, bringing town leadership directly to your neighborhood for genuine, two-way dialogue. I will also champion streamlined permitting and service processes, cutting red tape and bureaucracy so you can get what you need from the town efficiently. Elect me, and we will replace bureaucratic delays with action and accessibility, making Clarkstown government truly responsive to the needs of its people.
Innovation
Clarkstown must embrace innovation to move beyond outdated solutions and prepare our town for the future. As Supervisor, I will champion a new approach built on smart technology, efficiency, and forward-thinking problem-solving. This means creating a “Smart Town” initiative to upgrade our infrastructure, streamline service delivery, and reduce costs through the strategic adoption of modern systems—from energy-efficient public works to digital services that save residents time. I will foster public-private partnerships to bring cutting-edge solutions to key challenges like traffic management and environmental sustainability. Innovation isn’t just about technology; it’s about a culture of continuous improvement. Elect me, and we will make Clarkstown a leader in the region by utilizing the best ideas to create a more efficient, sustainable, and prosperous community.
Sustainability
Our environment is our most precious resource, and as Supervisor, I am committed to making sustainability a core tenet of Clarkstown’s operations and planning. I will launch a comprehensive “Green Clarkstown” Initiative focused on long-term ecological and financial stewardship. This means investing in renewable energy for municipal buildings to cut taxpayer utility costs, upgrading our public works for greater energy efficiency, and expanding town-wide recycling and composting programs to drastically reduce landfill waste. We will protect and enhance our local parks and open spaces, and implement smart zoning that encourages responsible development and preserves our community’s character. Sustainability is not a cost; it’s an investment in the health, quality of life, and economic vitality of Clarkstown for generations to come. Elect me, and let’s build a cleaner, greener, and more resilient town.
Community Engagement
A strong town is one where every voice is heard and valued. As your Supervisor, I will fundamentally redefine community engagement, moving beyond simple town meetings to build a genuine partnership between residents and government. I will establish Town-Wide Advisory Boards for key areas like infrastructure, recreation, and planning, ensuring decision-making is informed by diverse resident expertise. We will launch regular “Clarkstown Community Conversations”—accessible forums held in different neighborhoods—to discuss pressing issues and gather direct input before major decisions are made. Furthermore, I will leverage technology to make it easier for you to participate, including enhanced online feedback tools and open project updates. True leadership means listening. Elect me, and together we will build a truly participatory government where every Clarkstown resident plays an active role in shaping our future.
Ethical Governance
As your Clarkstown Supervisor, I will make ethical governance the foundation of our town hall, working to restore public trust through integrity and accountability. I will implement the strictest Code of Ethics our town has ever seen, requiring all officials and employees to operate with complete honesty and impartiality. This includes establishing clear, enforceable rules against conflicts of interest, ensuring that decisions are made for the benefit of all residents, not personal gain or political favors. We will mandate comprehensive ethics training for all town personnel and create an independent, empowered ethics commission with the authority to investigate and sanction violations. Ethical governance is not optional; it is essential. Elect me, and we will decisively end the era of backroom deals, ensuring Clarkstown’s government serves with the highest standards of conduct, fairness, and morality.
Conservation
The preservation of our natural heritage is vital to Clarkstown’s identity and quality of life. As Supervisor, I will launch a robust Conservation First Agenda to protect our critical open spaces, natural resources, and community character. This means aggressively pursuing and securing permanent protection for key undeveloped parcels and parklands to prevent overdevelopment and preserve green corridors. Furthermore, we will update our land use regulations to promote sustainable development practices that minimize environmental impact and protect our aquifers and tree canopy. Conservation is an investment in our well-being and the future beauty of Clarkstown. Elect me, and let’s actively work to keep our town green, healthy, and pristine.
