I have had the pleasure of knowing Whitney professionally for the past 20 plus years in my capacity as Town Supervisor, County Legislator and lastly Chairman of the County Legislature. It is not often that a politician is asked to write a recommendation for a journalist, but it is my pleasure. Over the years I have been more than impressed with Whitney’s fair yet persuasive writing abilities.

Whitney is an advocate for the community and at the same time will take on difficult subjects. She is skilled at
creating and maintaining a productive dialogue between parties with different viewpoints; this ability to keep open
lines of communication is no small challenge in these times.
