To the editor: We are very blessed to live in Lake Placid and are lucky to have wonderful candidates for public office. On Tuesday, March 16, I will be voting for Art Devlin for Lake Placid mayor and Marc Galvin and Jackie Kelly for village trustees. During my years as a North Elba Town councilman I had the pleasure of working with Art on many projects including short-term rental legislation, land use codes revisions, Lake Placid/North Elba community development, and Mirror Lake sidewalk repaving. Art is a hard worker, always prepared, and willing to listen. Art possesses a cooperative attitude and demonstrates innovative thinking. As a registered Independent, I am pleased to have the opportunity to support Art Devlin, who I believe is best suited to serve our community’s interests.
Village of Lake Placid voters: March 16 is fast approaching, your vote for Art Devlin for Mayor would be greatly appreciated. Twelve years ago under the previous administration, the village board was dysfunctional. Craig Randall, Zay Curtis and Art Devlin were elected and worked with the state comptroller’s office to do an in-depth audit. The village received a scathing audit of our village finances from state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, who stated, “Lake Placid has to get its fiscal house in order and fast.” The report stated “woefully inadequate oversight of the village’s financial operations” from the previous administration was to blame. “A disregard for fiscal monitoring cost Lake Placid taxpayers more than $110,000.”
To the editor: An audit of the village of Lake Placid was performed by the Office of the State Comptroller and was released in December of 2010. The audit
