“A vote for Pilewski is a vote for the village of Manlius
To the editor:
In 2013, when Tom Pilewski ran for his first term on the Manlius Village Board of Trustees, I wrote a letter to the Eagle Bulletin editor urging my fellow residents to cast their votes for him. At that time, my endorsement was based on my decades-long friendship with Tom, his wife Lisa, and their family, his comprehensive and relevant professional career encompassing sales, management, entrepreneurship, and academia, and his smart, reasonable lets-get-it-done approach to problem solving.
A dozen years later, Tom has an established track record, and I am back to endorse him again.
As a trustee, Tom has demonstrated his tireless commitment to our village in a number of ways: he is responsive, actively engaging with neighbors and community events; he takes his service on the Board seriously, utilizing his membership to enhance the quality of or village infrastructure and economy; and perhaps most importantly, he is a fierce advocate for maintaining the budget and containing expenditures, prioritizing the taxpayers’ “wallets,” as well as their needs and wants. He led, for example, the board’s efforts to transition to energy-efficient street lighting and to secure a new information technology provider, a projected saving of $20,000 a year!
Tom’s resolve to keep costs down is unwavering.
On March 18, village boards elections will once again give us a voice and an opportunity to shape and strengthen our community. I strongly encourage you to show up to keep the momentum growing, and to cast your Manlius village trustee vote for my friend Tom Pilewski.
