Letter from Andrew Hamill

Council Candidate Elaborates on Policy

As a candidate for the Oneonta City Council, I can only hope that I will do well to help serve the people and the city in any capacity possible. If there are any doubts about this, do know that I will keep my personal opinion separate from the task at the job itself.

If I am elected to the Council, I want to increase the size of the Commissions from five persons to eight persons to help represent the public who live in the eight wards of the city so that all voices are heard and represented by those who are appointed to the Commissions.

Another policy that I am aiming to do is to help the homeless in the city with helping them get adequate housing. I would also like to implement a city-wide church commission that the places of worship would help the people in helping get housing, food, clothing, training like CPR/first aid/AED, etc.

Something that I am passionate about doing is being an advocate for the people by helping the people. We need to do better, we need to do more, and if I happen to be elected we will do better and more.

Andrew Hamill
City of Oneonta, candidate for City of Oneonta Common Council
