Open Letter to Neighborhood Associations and Residents March 27, 2011 Dear Community Leaders and Residents, Many of you know me as a Former Councilman and resident of the City, although a good number of you have met me personally during my ‘walk-abouts’, an activity I have engaged in for years in which I walk the neighborhoods and talk with residents about their concerns and vision for the future. I am an independent candidate in this Mayoral election to be held on Thursday March 31, and as an Independent candidate I am allied with the people, concerned only for your interest and the interest of our City. I am not directed or controlled by any political party, have neither allegiance nor obligation to anyone or anything except YOU. As a longtime advocate for neighborhoods and their residents, I am writing you now to ask for your support in my candidacy for Mayor. I believe every citizen of this City deserves the same services and scale of public safety services regardless of location, size, or socioeconomic status. One of most valuable qualities of our City is in its diversity of culture and what these differences offer to make us a City full of vibrancy and life. I believe the City Government must support residents in maintaining quality of life whether this includes advocating and partnering with City officials in maintaining neighborhood infrastructure, providing a stronger police presence so that residents are safe and secure, or assuring that your neighborhood has representation on the Council for advocacy. For example, many of you may know or be familiar with my dedication to serving neighborhoods which are under the Affordable Housing umbrella – I have brought hundreds of thousands of dollars in the donation of services and materials to upgrade buildings and their surroundings, at no cost to taxpayers. These renovations improved the quality of life for residents who are each entitled to safe and clean home. I am also opposed to FASNY and in fact I am the first candidate in this race to come out and take that stand. If you ask members of your community to review my website (www.hockleyformayor.com ), you will find more about my ideas and vision for the future of White Plains. I intend to support fiscal responsibility without cutting city services or critical public safety. I intend to make the City more consumer friendly by changing parking ordinances and this includes overnight downtown parking for residents. I am happy to discuss my ideas and listen to yours, or answer any questions you may have both prior to the election and afterward – committing to an accessibility which will continue during my term as Mayor. This is one promise I am comfortable making as I historically I have maintained this open door policy. If you would like to reach me please call 572-7000. Please post this letter as it is to all of my constituents and provides information about my background, why I’m running for Mayor, and my vision for our future, all of us. Sincerely,  Glen Hockley Independent Candidate for Mayor Hockley for Mayor Palm Card! 03/23/2011
