Protecting The Taxpayer
Are you tired of paying some of the highest property taxes in America? Bruce is committed to cutting your property taxes by
10%. Chris St. Lawrence has raised your taxes for years and then lied about what he has done.
Cleaning Up Government
Bruce will run a completely accessible and transparent Town Hall. Bruce will end “pay-to-play” politics that drives up taxes and
favors developers and vendors who contribute to the St. Lawrence campaign. He supports single member districts for Town
Council, to make Ramapo a real democracy.
Protecting The Environment
Bruce’s first order of business will be to revise the Town’s notorious zoning Master Plan so that the environment will be placed
ahead of the developers.He will enforce all environmental regulations and put an end to down-zoning.
Economic Development
Bruce is committed to lower taxes, expanding Empire Zones, improving traffic flow and working with business (rather than developers).
He will direct efforts to revitalize the business and industrial districts in the Town.
Helping Our Seniors
Bruce will fight to restore the STAR program for seniors and will work to rehab older senior housing by getting energy efficiency
grants. He will work with local business and state representatives to help seniors in homes facing foreclosure. He will also work
to ensure that local clinics, nursing homes and home care agencies remain in Ramapo.

Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee Supports Bruce for Supervisor

tremendous breadth of knowledge and experience that spans all levels of
local government. Bruce has a truly impressive record of accomplishment on

integrity and he is at once creative, candid and open in his approach to
problem-solving. He has a history of bringing people together to achieve
the best ends for our communities.”
“I am very sure that Bruce Levine will
make an excellent Town Supervisor and I look forward to working with him
for the future of Ramapo.”
Ramapo Can’t Afford Another St. Lawrence Administration
Chris St. Lawrence claims he hasn't raised property taxes. This isn't true.
Just look at your tax bill. Since he took office St. Lawrence raised various Town taxes
by 64%. He raised Police taxes by more than 76%. By creating numerous taxes on your bill
and by saddling the Town with tens of millions of dollars of debt, Ramapo is becoming a place where no one can afford to live.
Recently, Chris St. Lawrence has spent millions of our taxpayer dollars buying land around Ramapo.
He claims that this is for "open space". Yet he's only legally preserved the "open space" around his home.
We know why. He supposedly aquired the quarry site in Suffern for "open space". Now he's selling it to a
campaign donor/developer for pennies on the dollar.
Recently, Chris St. Lawrence mailed out glossy literature at taxpayers expense proclaiming Ramapo
was America's safest Town. Unfortunately this is not true. The Supervisor omitted the crimes committed in Spring Valley and Suffern
making Ramapo appear safer than it is. While the Town Police work hard to ensure our safety,
many challenges face residents in parts of our Town and wishing those challenges away won't solve them.
We Rely on Your Support to Get Bruce's Message Out
Unlike Chris St. Lawrence, who draws his support from large developers, we rely on donations from individuals
like you to finance the campaign. Help take back our Town today and click on the "donate" button below.
