Darryl Matthews
Republican Darryl Matthews has
served on the Plattekill Planning Board
for six years and for the first time is
running for the Plattekill Town Board.
M a t t h e w s
owns and runs the
Modena Country
Club,
a
local
manufactured
h o u s i n g
community
of
128
lots
“and
because
I
am
constantly dealing
with
budgets,
utilities and other
companies and always negotiating, that’s
basically what the Town Board does by
always trying to save the town money.
That’s what I am all about; I am trying
to make it so we can all survive in this
town.”
Matthews said controlling taxes is the
number one priority for the Town Board,
followed by ensuring emergency services
for the seniors, care for veterans and
providing recreation opportunities for
the children in the community.
Matthews said he would work with
developers to streamline the process
when they propose a project in town. “It’s
a partnership and trying to work together
as much as we can with businesses, with
the town and with the residents so we
get the businesses they’re looking for;
we’re hearing people want a restaurant, a
laundromat, a car wash, things like that.”
Matthews said if elected he will bring
his communication skills to the board
and to try to see what people have in
common first and then work on the things
people may disagree on, realizing that
both sides have to compromise usually to
get something through to make all sides
happy or at least willing to move forward.
Dean DePew
Republican Dean DePew is running
for re-election to the Town Board for
a second, four year term.
