Ed Lachterman has the necessary experience, which qualifies him for the important job of Yorktown supervisor.

Unlike other levels of government, the position of town supervisor is a managerial position, and must have the necessary experience to run the town. Unlike cities, which have a mayor and a city manager, Yorktown’s supervisor is, in fact, the town manager.

Ed has the necessary management experience to do the job. He has corporate experience, has served on the Town Board for eight years and has served as deputy supervisor and now supervisor due to the unfortunate passing of our beloved former supervisor Tom Diana.

Unless one has the necessary knowledge of Yorktown departments, Town Board and committees as well as town law, one is not qualified to make decisions for the town. It is also important that one has a basic knowledge of roads, neighborhoods and infrastructure.

Attending a few Town Board meetings does not qualify you to run the town.

Your vote for Ed Lachterman will safeguard your quality of life, the safety of your family and the value of your property.
