To the Editor:

Mar. 14, 2018:  It is my privilege to write in support of William Primps, who is running for village justice in the upcoming election on March 20. Having worked closely with Bill over many years during my time as trustee and later as mayor, I believe he is uniquely qualified to help oversee the Bronxville court, which is integral to our public safety system.

Bill Primps as much as anyone has demonstrated his commitment to Bronxville through the many roles he has assumed in village government beginning with his service as counsel and then chair of Bronxville’s zoning board of appeals. His work there proved his ability to lead the board through difficult issues in a thoughtful, balanced, and fair-minded manner. 

The respect he garnered in these roles led to his serving as village trustee at the same time I was a trustee, so I was able to experience firsthand why Bill had gained such admiration from his colleagues. Bill’s opinions were always valued by our board, and all of us depended on him for his sage advice. Later, when I was mayor, it was only natural that I appoint Bill as my deputy mayor, the person I would depend upon most for his insight and guidance.

Bill’s years of community service bring the right combination of skills to do what is a vital job in making sure our village is safe and our court system above reproach. Quite simply put, Bill has the judicial temperament to serve as a justice--he is patient, compassionate yet firm, and has impeccable judgment. 

I strongly believe that Bill Primps is the best candidate for the job. Your vote for him will guarantee that the Bronxville court system is in very good hands.
