Dear friends and residents,

First we got Hampstead back!

I built and led the team that succeeded in getting Hampstead demerged. I promised you that we would be much better off if we got our town back. I believe that you can see that we are.

Then we made it much better!

In 2005, the post-merger Town was in a horrible state; the roads were like those of a third world country and sewers were bursting and flooding homes. I promised that I would work with the same energy and determination to rebuild Hampstead as I did to get the town demerged.

During the campaign for Mayor I made 12 major promises, most written and some verbal. Not only has every single promise been kept but I have gone well beyond those promises. I believe my track record speaks for itself.

The first promise was to fix our infrastructure. Almost 40% of our roads have been repaved. Water main breaks have been cut in half and flooding due to sewers overflowing has been cut by over 90%.

The second promise was to be fiscally responsible. Tax increases have dropped each year. In addition, in 2009, 96% of residents saw an average tax DECREASE of 1%. At the same time, our surplus climbed five-fold from $300,000 to over $1,500,000.

Here is a complete list of our accomplishments.

Now, I need your help!

It has been an honor to be your Mayor and I have been working at least 60 hours per week to earn this honor. I respond to every e-mail, letter and phone call promptly. Every decision that I have made has been with the best interests of the town in mind. If you appreciate what I have accomplished over this past mandate and want me to continue in this direction, I need your help, your trust, your support, and your vote of confidence.

Sincerely,

Dr. Bill Steinberg
