To the Editor,
I’m proud to call George Latimer my friend, and to support his re-election to the state Senate. He has been a terrific senator on environmental issues: endorsed by The Sierra Club, the New York League of Conservation Voters, and he scored a 92—tied for highest in the Senate—in the legislative environmental scorecard of Environmental Advocates of New York. George has been a leader on renewable energy, wetland protection and climate change efforts.
He takes the time to visit our Eastchester Environmental Committee, generally unheard of among elected officials (and I hear he does the same in other towns). He shows his interest in these issues every day and is there for anyone or any organization when he is needed.
Finally, he is as regular and down-to-earth as you will ever find in someone who is a senator; we truly enjoy being with him. It is a rare quality, one that we should not take for granted on Election Day. Please join me and vote for George.
Peter McCartt,
director of Sustainable Westchester and chairman of
the Eastchester Environmental Committee
