The first 100 days.
Not a vision statement. A sequence: what gets done in the first 30 days, the first 60, and by day 100, so residents can hold the administration to it.
First 30 days
Every public Town meeting goes live on YouTube.
Town Board, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals and every other meeting that is open to the public is livestreamed and archived, starting with the first one. No more finding out what happened from a scanned minutes PDF weeks later.
The contract review begins.
Every existing Town contract is pulled and examined for whether it was legally and competitively procured. Contracts that were not are terminated and rebid to get better pricing and best value for residents.
A forensic audit is ordered.
A legitimate, national, reputable auditing firm is engaged to conduct a complete forensic audit of the Town's finances. The findings are released publicly, in full.
The term-limits law is introduced.
An ironclad term-limits law goes to the Town Board in the first 30 days and is set for a local referendum next November, so residents, not officials, decide.
The drafted laws are introduced.
The 12-month zoning moratorium and the permanent data center and crypto mining ban are introduced for public hearing, along with the home improvement contractor registry and the Renter Safety and Landlord Accountability Act. All were drafted before Election Day so the hearings can start immediately.
Patronage hires are re-interviewed.
Every patronage-appointed employee is re-interviewed and assessed for qualifications and performance against the minimum requirements of the role and the standard the work demands. Those who do not meet them are let go, consistent with Civil Service Law and the Town's collective bargaining agreements. The positions that are genuinely needed are refilled on merit.
The code-violation backlog is reviewed and inspections begin.
Every open code complaint is reviewed, and code enforcement officers are ordered to begin aggressive inspections and enforcement action on existing violations, with maximum penalties and court injunctions where warranted, so that ignoring the code stops being cheaper than following it.
First 60 days
A zoning modernization committee is seated.
A committee of residents, engineers and qualified attorneys is established to modernize the zoning code: developers, not taxpayers, pay for the roads, drainage and infrastructure their projects demand, and open space is protected by design rather than by exception.
By day 100
Rebid contracts come back.
Contracts terminated in the review are re-procured competitively and awarded on price and value. The savings are reported line by line on the transparency dashboard.
The public transparency dashboard is live.
Every Town contract, the budget, expenditures and other public records in one searchable place, updated as they happen, so residents never have to file a records request to see how their money is spent.
The audit is under way and its scope is public.
The forensic audit's engagement letter and scope are published when signed. Findings are released as they are delivered, not held for a convenient moment.
A 100-day report card.
A public accounting of each item on this page: done, in progress, or blocked, and by what. Residents get to grade the work against the promise.
Common questions
Can a Town Supervisor do all of this alone?
No, and this page does not pretend otherwise. Laws need a Town Board majority and a public hearing; personnel actions follow Civil Service Law and union agreements; the referendum belongs to the voters. What the Supervisor controls is what gets introduced, what gets audited, what gets published, and what gets enforced. Every item here is one of those.
Why a referendum on term limits instead of just passing the law?
Because the last time term limits were on the books, George Hoehmann and Donald Franchino sued to undo them. A law adopted by referendum is the residents' decision, and it is far harder for a future board to quietly reverse.
Where can I read the laws that would be introduced?
All four are drafted and published in full on the proposed laws page: the zoning moratorium, the data center and crypto mining ban, the home improvement contractor registry, and the Renter Safety and Landlord Accountability Act.
