Spinello Endorsed By Glen Cove SOS

 The group was formed by concerned citizens who, although in favor of development of Glen Cove's waterfront, are opposed to the presently proposed high rise and high density development because of its negative impact upon our environment and community, and given the lack of public involvement in its planning. Almost 1,300 people have already signed the group's petition which states opposition to the present proposal and which is intended to demonstrate the lack of public acceptance therefor.

 In advising Spinello of its endorsement, the organization's Executive Board thanked Spinello for sharing his vision for the future of Glen Cove, and expressed its pleasure that his objectives regarding the development of the Waterfront were similar to that of SOS. Their letter went on to state that "…your strong leadership will bring our city a much needed break from years of inaction, neglect and mismanagement".

  Spinello commented that "I am pleased to receive the unqualified endorsement of such a fine organization, started, not for political purposes, but by concerned citizens who seek to better our community. I am honored to be the candidate who is felt to best represent the membership of SOS Glen Cove, and the almost 1,300 people who have thus far signed their petition".

 Reggie Spinello is the candidate of the Republican, Independence and Conservative parties and will appear on lines B, C and D of the ballot, along with his City Council running mates, John Hanley, Carol Sucharski, Grady Farnan, Linda Perlman, Paul Meli and Kerry Catanzano.
