Dennis Bishop is
announcing his candidacy, in the form of a “write-in” campaign, for Village
of Lowville Trustee. A resident of Lowville for most of his life, he and
his wife, Pam, reside on Jefferson St. in Lowville. Dennis has previously
served as Village Trustee for two consecutive terms (2007 thru 2015). And, in light of the fact that incumbent Mayor Joseph Beagle
has been challenged in his re-election bid by Kae Young, wife of local
lawyer Michael Young, Dennis feels it is important that he support Joe, and
our village Board in their ongoing struggle against Lewis County
Legislative overreach by launching a “write in” candidacy for the open
Village Trustee seat.
Dennis is quoted
as saying “ Our village has been run carefully and conservatively by our
Mayor and incumbent Board of Trustees for the last 4 years and I would be
proud to join them in working toward a common goal of continued stability,
reasonable water and sewer rates, responsible governance, and continued
improvements in our infrastructure in order to provide a setting where our
businesses and residents can continue to flourish. Unfortunately, there are
ongoing efforts by the Lewis County Legislature to take over our Board of
Trustees plus our Village water system, to bring snowmobiles and 4 wheelers
straight thru our village on their “Rails to Trails” corridor and their
latest arbitrary decision (which will negatively affect a large portion our
Village) to construct yet another one of their overpriced and under-planned
projects, a 13 MILLION dollar structure for 20 “homeless people” on Outer
Stowe St.! At this point in time we need
individuals on our Village Board who will continue to stand up for Village
autonomy from the County. I have proven that I can do this as a Board
member in the past, and pledge to continue standing up for our Village
residents if elected Village Trustee by “write in” on March 21st.”
