I told them I would govern based on efficient government as well as effective government. I have tried to be true to those tenants even though at times it came at a personal cost. Indeed it cost me for a time the friendship of people who basically I admire and respect for their dedication and valor the firemen and emt's. But I was elected to help restore fiscal sanity to our government and I meant to be true to my pledge. Now, it is my pleasure to serve the people of Queensbury in a more expanded role. My goal is continue to work for effective but efficient government. If I had any success if I have learned anything during the last two terms its due in no small measure to some extremely dedicated and professional public servants. In no particular order but placing them all at the pinnacle I would like to thank Darleen and her tremendously competent staff in the Clerk's Office, Paul Naylor who with Rick Missita gives us a Highway Department second to none. To Jim Martin within the profession of Planners his knowledge and dedication are a bench mark for the industry. To my friend Tom Flaherty and his cerebral sidekick Ralph V. , thanks for the lessons. And to you Mr. Supervisor and the Board for putting up with my antics as we wove our way through the decision making process with a special thanks to Betty who's dedication to her Town and her wise counsel is something that I will treasure always. So, Connie the chair is yours the seat is warm, some would say I made it hot, but I do not think so. If I never serve another day, I will always be thankful for working with all of you and for serving the people of the Town in which I live. Thank you. Supervisor Champagne-Nick you have got my heart pumping, and it is not the first time. Before you leave, you will have to take a back set there, you are a front seat guy and we all know that. I just want to say how much I have learned in my time here I think Nick has taught me first of all that there are compromises that can be made and when I first came into office I would have to be very honest with you, for those of you who were around then, I was a little bit fearful of what I had really jumped into. I think for those of us that come into the political role if you will as first timers certainly there is this feeling of inadequacy and it took me some time to get my feet on the ground and certainly for the first six months I was shaky, if you didn't notice for those of you that were around here then. And certainly I believe in the Betty Monahan tradition someone that has been around for fourteen years plus or minus Betty, I will leave it at fourteen but Nick also who had been also very much involved in Town Government and had survived the previous couple of years under some real difficult conditions. So, Nick I just want to say thank you very much for the leadership that you have brought to this Board and certainly to me personally and the tap on the shoulder and the hand on the shoulder when I probably needed it more than anything else I do appreciate it and I want you to know that. So, best of luck in your future and certainly if I can be of any help or service to you, you just jingle me, so thanks again. Mr. Caimano- Thank you.
