Why do I support Mayor Susan Feiszli?
Cortland's mayor has earned my support by her decisive management and reform of city government. Cortland hasn't had a reformer since Mayor Sam Forcucci and the adoption of a City Charter in 1975.
Today citizens of Cortland have a balanced budget with surplus -- a zero tax increase this year and predicted again next year -- and new auditors to advise the city step by step.
The mayor has drawn criticism for her procedures involving city code and landlords, and firing city administration officials on the basis of non-performance. Much of the criticism can be found in CS editorials. Very little of it has substance.
Controversy always surrounds a problem-solver, a reformer. Good luck, Mayor Feiszli!
