Guilderland needs new leaders

To the Editor:

If the July 15 Guilderland Town Board meeting did not make you want to throw a “For Sale” sign on your lawn, it should make you register and engage in voting.

Robyn Gray, leading the Guilderland Coalition for Responsible Growth, has become our town resident advocate not receiving perks by way of town committee participation stipends and state benefits plans yet she shows up and questions the town board and committees and with decorum and tact, asking what is going on.

Why do we need Robyn Gray as a babysitter of town Supervisor Peter Barber?

Residents, we need a new town of Guilderland supervisor. We need new town board members and we have them; they show up at Guilderland Town Board meetings, expressing concern, disbelief, and more — and we should give them a chance to lead because they have shown us they know the issues from both sides like Karen White, Iris Brodye, Robyn Gray, John Haluska, and a few others.

We need new people, not someone like Jacob Crawford who was the town’s Democratic Party chairman and now chairs the Albany County Democratic Party while on the town board. We need someone other than Peter Barber because he tried to enact a law to benefit himself to extend his own term of office ….

But we will not have change unless people do the right thing.
