Paul Pontieri Receives Prestigious Commendation!
Being in the same room with prestigious people such as Stuart Rabinowitz, President of Hofstra University, Shirley Strum Kenny, President of Stony Brook University , and Jon Cooper Long Island Campaign Chair for the Obama Presidential Campaign, is an honor in itself. Our mayor Paul Pontieri was selected by Long Island Business News, as one of the ten leaders that changed Long Island.
It is now a given that our mayor is now in the Major League, with all of Long Island as his ball park!

It is great to see Paul Pontieri recognized. He and the entire administration have done a great job. There is still work to be done but most mayors and their office would sit back at this point and coast. For us, the best is yet to come. I commend them for taking chances and not falling into the trap previous administrations have in acting like the only way to revitalize Patchogue was though retail (Mayor Keegan was the other exception). Many residents were scared of going the entertainment route but Mayor Pontieri and his administration have done an excellent job in calming those fears. I've been in Patchogue for most of my 32 years and my friends constantly asked me why I stayed. I said just wait, you'll see. Now, they are here 1 or 2 days a week taking advantage of the blossoming restaurant and bar scene. A couple of them are thinking of moving to the village or at least closer to it.
