Mr. Mayor, pass the dressing, please

June
26

Credit the Greater Haverstraw Chamber of commerce for a good idea—a good way to get village residents face-to-face with their mayors.

They’ve sensed that people may be reluctant to just waltz into their respective village halls to meet the mayor, so the chamber has come up with a more low-key, constituent-friendly approach.

Residents can have a buffet supper and beverage with Haverstraw Mayor Michael Kohut or West Haverstraw Mayor John Ramundo this evening at 7 at the Haverstraw Elks Lodge. Pomona Mayor Nick Sanderson has been invited to take part, but whether he’ll be there remains uncertain.

Both Kohut and Ramundo say they are available almost anytime residents want to speak with them, but they still welcome this opportunity because it connects them with constituents in a different, more comfortable setting.

Tickets, which are available at the door, are $25.
