The Ancram Democratic Committee
THE FACTS ARE SIMPLE.
ANCRAM DESERVES THE WHOLE STORY.
Campaign season brings a lot of claims. Some leave out important facts. Some make complicated issues sound simple. And some tell you what to be angry about without telling you what they would actually do.
Ancram residents deserve the whole story.
GRANTS WERE AWARDED.
State funding was awarded for both the Highway Department salt shed and the Blass Field Pavilion. The reimbursements have not yet been received. That does not mean the grants never existed.
It means the Town must continue working with the State until the money already awarded is paid.
DATA CENTERS AREN’T A DISTRACTION.
Joe Brown and Colleen Lutz oppose large-scale data centers in Ancram.
Planning for a problem before it reaches our doorstep is exactly what responsible local government should do.
Protect the farms. Protect the water. Protect Ancram’s rural character.
TOWN FINANCES DESERVE STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Residents have every right to ask: what does it cost, who pays, what outside funding is available, and
what are we doing to control costs?
Those questions deserve clear answers-not slogans.
THE FACTS MATTER. SO DOES WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
FIGHT FOR EVERY DOLLAR ANCRAM IS OWED.
We will keep working with the State to secure the reimbursement for the salt shed and Blass Field grants
and pursue every funding opportunity for our town.
KEEP INAPPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT OUT.
We will continue to oppose large-scale data centers and push for smart, commonsense planning that
protects our farmland, water, and rural character.
MAKE ANCRAM AFFORDABLE AND LIVABLE.
We will look for practical ways to support housing, local businesses, and the services that make Ancram
a great place to live.
PLAN AHEAD.
We will take a thoughtful, long-term approach to the challenges and opportunities facing Ancram.
