This is outstanding news! Dr. Becker has such a history of public service and accomplishment behind him that he'll be a wonderful breath of fresh air to the district. As an environmentalist, a job creator, and serial problem solver, he has shown time and time again an ability to get it done for our community. And, CortlandtLiving, you're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Dr. Becker wasn't appointed by anyone to the Town Board other than voters. Which is more accurately described as "being elected". And that was over 5 years ago. Anyone paying close attention to Town politics would know. View Comment
