Integral to Board - Great letter to the editor of support to Carol Pinto

Integral to board

By Susan Haag
Spencertown | Posted: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 12:30 am

In the short four years that Carol Pinto has held the office of Town Board member for the town of Austerlitz, she has acclimated herself well to the job. Always prepared, asking pertinent and relevant questions, Carol is an integral part of the Town Board. As decisions are made, Carol is careful to be fair, follow the laws, and to watch as possible precedents are set.
Carol is not content to occupy a chair once a month, but rather spends hours researching so the decisions she makes are with facts in front of her and well thought out.
Carol has been instrumental in updating the ridgeline protection section in the town of Austerlitz’s Code. Taking a difficult and complicated area that needs careful and implementable regulations, Carol worked across party lines to present new maps and wording to the Town Board for consideration.
Carol cares about her community. Even before she was an elected member of the Town Board, Carol came to meetings keeping abreast of what was happening. Carol served for over seven years on the Town of Austerlitz' Planning Board and on the Columbia County Environmental Management Council.
Being well versed in town issues, experienced, intelligent, and ready to serve another four years, Carol Pinto is an excellent choice for Town Board member for the town of Austerlitz on Nov. 5.
