Letter: Supporting Pangallo

Thu, Oct 27, 2011

We are writing to share our support for Dominick Pangallo, who is running for Hamilton Town Council. We met Dominick and his family last summer as we were walking near the town green with our little boy, William. We stopped to chat with him, his wife Kristin, and their daughter, Aurelia. It was clear we had found new friends and neighbors.

As we have gotten to know Dominick better, we have come to understand just how much he brings to Hamilton. Dominick has thrown himself into the Hamilton arts scene—a scene that is important to us. One of Dominick's loves is theater and we are looking forward to his contributions as a director and volunteer at the Palace Theater.

Dominick also brings extensive experience promoting good governance. Beyond his formal studies, which prepared him to understand how to manage budgets and make policies that work, Dominick devoted many years to promoting the environment, local preservation, and affordable housing. We all want our town to work well and to act fairly. Dominick has the tools to help us meet those goals.

And he, like the rest of us parents with young children, wants Hamilton to succeed in the long run. It is in the context of working for our kids that we have witnessed Dominick in action. Elizabeth serves with Dominick on the Chenango Nursery School's Parent's Advisory Committee. In meetings, Dominick has practical, thoughtful ideas, but he exhibits another quality that we think is very important: he really knows how to listen.

We hope you will vote for Dominick Pangallo for Town Council.

Liz & Dan Bouk, Hamilton
