Skibitsky will say anything to win.

 

Andy Skibitsky sent a flyer today to the residents of this town accusing Dave Haas of “supporting the Hawk light and process”. This is another lie Mr. Skibitsky put on paper just to deceive Westfield residents.  

I call on Mr. Skibitsky to apologize to Mr. Haas for the outright lies he is stating about him, this is certainly not Mayoral on the part of Mr. Skibitsky, frankly it is a bit disgusting.  Mr. Skibitsky will say anything to keep his job as Mayor so he can further his own political agenda.

Mr. Haas has been the only proponent of moving the Hawk light from its spot on Central Avenue on the town council.  Mr. Haas expressed numerous times his opinion that the present location of the crosswalk, lights, and signs in the middle of the road are confusing and very unsafe, and they should be relocated to the intersection the way three expert’s reports recommended.

When our community presented a petition that was signed by 122 residents, 53 of them from immediate vicinity of my house (Cedar St, Cambridge, Clover, Frances Ter., Belmar, Rogers).   Mayor Skibitsky not only did not listen to the concerns of the community but he treated each of us with an incredible disrespect.  He stated “I don’t spend more than a minute a week on this issue”.  The entire community does not count for him only his supporters count for him. He is the Mayor who only cares about 50% of Westfield not 100%

Dave Haas listened to people in Ward 3 on this issue and many others regardless of party affiliation, he has been a councilman for the people and he will be the Mayor for all of Westfield not just half. 

Mayor Skibitsky’s disingenuousness on the Hawk Light and now Dave Haas’ record has made me feel ashamed that I voted for him in the past.

I won’t make that mistake again on November 5th.

VOTE FOR TRUTH AND FOR INTEGRITY”!  VOTE FOR DAVE HAAS!
