Poughkeepsie Firefighters Endorse Tkazyik

Poughkeepsie, NY - Mayoral candidate John Tkazyik was endorsed today by Local 596, the

Poughkeepsie Firefighters Union. Standing at a podium with Union President George Cacchione,

Tkazyik thanked the firefighters for their support and repeated his vow to bring property taxes under

control, cut Poughkeepsie’s skyrocketing crime rates and get several pending development projects off

the ground.

Said Cacchione, “We have worked with John for several years during his time on the Common Council,

and have come to know him as a responsible, bright, energetic public servant who is always willing to

listen. He is a man of integrity who keeps his word. Of all the candidates running, we regard him the

best choice to lead Poughkeepsie during these troubled times and help get this city back on its feet.”

Said Tkazyik, “Our city faces some serious challenges—a skyrocketing tax burden, double digit

increases in crime rates, drug and gang violence and too many development projects that are stalled or

mired in bureaucratic paperwork. Once these problems are brought under control, we can take our fire

department, already an excellent organization, and move it to the next level.”
