Letter to the Editor in Support of George Mayer for Bronxville Village Justice

alt


To the Editor,

Mar. 11, 2020:  To the Residents of Bronxville:

Wednesday, March 18th is Election Day in Bronxville. I will be voting that day for George Mayer for Bronxville Village Judge. I am doing so because the facts are clear on George's qualifications for this position and contributions to our community.

George has lived in Bronxville for over 40 years. He has practiced law here for decades. He has a long track record of community service, having served as a Fire Commissioner, President of the Bronxville PTA, and a Village Judge for the last 16 years.

Most residents are not aware of the nature of the position of Village Judge. George typically hears more than 50 cases per day. The cases range from traffic violations to break-ins and robberies.

During his career, George has been both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. He has tried both civil and criminal cases in New York City and in Westchester. The breadth of his experience is key to his ability to perform his duties effectively and efficiently.

Because of his experience, he has been called upon to assist in Yonkers, Tuckahoe, and Mount Vernon with hearing cases and handling arraignments.

Beyond his deep experience in the application of both civil and criminal law, George has been a leader in a thoughtful approach to how to best serve our community.

George has used community service and counseling when dealing with first time offenders. For all of us who have raised teenagers here in Bronxville, we understand the impact of a criminal record on a young person's future. He understands the law as well as how to apply it to best serve the residents of Bronxville.

A vote for George Mayer for Village Judge is a vote for someone who knows how to effectively perform a very important role in our community.

Please add your vote to mine on March 18th.

Steve Mills

Bronxville Resident since 1979

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
