June 22, 2011: Supervisor Anthony S. Colavita announced his bid for reelection as Eastchester town supervisor last week, accompanied by his running mates Town Councilman Glenn Bellitto, Town Councilman Joseph Dooley, Town Clerk Linda Doherty, and Receiver of Taxes Rocco Cacciola, who will also be on the Republican ticket.

In addition, the two town justices, Domenick Porco and Janet Calano, and County Legislator Sheila Marcotte will be running on the same ticket.

In making the announcement Supervisor Colavita recited an extensive list of accomplishments over the last two years, including the "remake" of the Mill Road/White Plains intersection and an excellent tax record despite skyrocketing mandates and plummeting revenues.

"Many elected officials would be satisfied with the record of accomplishments that we have accomplished," Colavita stated, "but that has never been our way. We will continue to make Eastchester better together as our community progresses."

He also discussed the ticket's vision for the future of the town and its two villages. "Tough economic times call for competent leadership," Colavita added, "and that is exactly what this ticket will provide the good citizens of Eastchester, Bronxville, and Tuckahoe."

Councilman Glenn Bellitto focused on his accomplishments as a town board member and leader in our community. He pledged to continue his hard work and determination to make Eastchester even better. "I want to do my part to maintain and enhance the quality of life in Eastchester, Bronxville, and Tuckahoe, while keeping taxes down. We need to continue to look at ways for our three communities to share expenses to lower taxes."

Councilman Joseph Dooley, who was recently appointed to the town board, pledged his commitment to use his professional background and community involvement to make wise decisions for the community. He stated, "I'm honored to have this opportunity to serve the Town of Eastchester and look forward to leveraging my background and abilities in helping to push forward the great work being accomplished by the administration. I look forward to a vigorous campaign, meeting with residents, and finding out their concerns."
