S. Wright is the mayor of Sloatsburg, New York. His office is at the Village Hall, 96 Orange Turnpike, and Sloatsburg, New York. As the mayor, his job is to speak for the village, make decisions about the village and to keep it running smoothly. Mr. Wright is also in charge of all departments in the village like the D.P.W., the Fire Department and the Clerk’s office. He gets a lot of help from the Board of Trustees and the Planning Board. Mayor Wright has been the mayor of Sloatsburg on and off for 25 years. The first time he became mayor was 1975. Before he became mayor, Mr. Wright was also a police Sergeant for the village and a history teacher at Tappan Zee high school. Mayor Wright is an elected official which means that the people of Sloatsburg voted for him. He works full time as the mayor and he gets paid a salary. He helps the people by listening to their problems and keeping them safe. He talks to a lot of people that help make decisions about our village. He also follows all of the rules and the laws of the state of New York. I think someone would like to be mayor of Sloatsburg because they can speak with the people and help them by taking action to keep Sloatsburg a safe and beautiful place to live. Another reason why someone would want to be mayor is that they can go on the fourth grade tour of Sloatsburg trip and teach the students about their life growing up in Sloatsburg. right now poeple are trying to win mayor!
