Letter to the Editor: Dennis Winter: Elect Brian Keating to Fire Board

Dec. 3, 2014:

To the Editor: 

I am writing to ask you to vote for Brian Keating for fire commissioner in the Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners election this Tuesday, December 9.

Thanks to increased voter turnout and taxpayer focus on the annual fire district elections, our fire district is today managed by a truly professional team of board members. I believe the current board is very well equipped to manage the $17,000,000 annual budget and your tax dollars.

This year the board approved a 2015 fire district budget that reduces total spending.

The winner of this year's election will hold the position for five years and help administer a budget that is larger than the village budget.

I believe the board can continue to build on the progress achieved in the last several years by electing Brian Keating to this five-year position.

Brian has held a managerial position in the legal profession for over 25 years. Currently employed at Skadden, Arps, he has a bachelor's degree in American history. 

The combination of his work experience, education, and community involvement makes him a very strong candidate for the board of fire commissioners.

Mr. Keating has lived in the town since 1996 with his wife, Jennifer, and their two children.

Please encourage your neighbors to elect Brian Keating to the Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners this Tuesday December 9, 2014, between 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm at Bronxville Village Hall. The outcome of this election is important in continuing the direction of professional oversight at the Eastchester Fire District.

Thank you and have a safe and health holiday,

Dennis J. Winter
Village of Bronxville resident and Fire Board Chairman
