Last week, newly-elected Congressman Tom Suozzi met with more than 30 mayors from across New York’s 3rd Congressional District to give them an update on the latest news from our nation’s capital and to listen to their concerns and issues.
Suozzi praised the work of the mayors and their trustees and said that “Congress should take a lesson from your bipartisan work, your commitment to your residents and your abilities to get things done that matter most to the people of your villages.”
Suozzi, a former mayor of Glen Cove, knows the workings of local village government. He served as mayor for four terms and values the doctrine of Home Rule, understands the importance of zoning and land-use planning, and the scope and reach of village codes.
Mayors from NY-03 that attended the meeting with Congressman Suozzi included: Mayor Pedram Bral, Great Neck; Deputy Mayor Peter Cavallaro, Westbury; Mayor Marina Chimerine, Old Westbury; Mayor Elliot Conway, Upper Brookville; Deputy Mayor Bob DeNatale, Bayville, Mayor Daniel DeVita, Laurel Hollow; Mayor Barbara Donno, Plandome Manor; Mayor Paul Ehrbar, Williston Park; Mayor Peter Forman, Sands Point; Mayor Kenneth Goodman, Matinecock; Mayor Charles Goulding, Oyster Bay Cove; Mayor Nora Haagenson, Baxter Estates; Deputy Mayor Carol Harrington, Lattingtown; Mayor James Ligouri, Muttontown; Mayor Susan Lopatkin, Kensington; Mayor Marvin Natiss, North Hills; Mayor Pam Panzenbeck, Glen Cove; Mayor Bonnie Parente, East Williston; Mayor Paul Pereira, Mineola; Mayor Paul Leone Peters, Roslyn Estates; Mayor John Popeleski, Manorhaven; Mayor Sandy Quentzel, Roslyn Harbor; Deputy Mayor John Colgate, Mill Neck; Mayor Kenneth Riscica, Plandome Heights; Mayor Randall Rosenbaum, Flower Hill; Mayor Bernie Ryba.
