MAMARONECK, N.Y. --It was close for most of Tuesday night, but Village of
Mamaroneck Mayor Norman Rosenblum, 72, was re-elected to a fourth, two-year
term.
Rosenblum, a Republican, is a contract administrator for Safe Flight
Instrument Corporation, looks at the village as a thriving municipality that
should continue on its current path in many areas.
Unofficial returns from the Westchester County Board of Elections had
Rosenblum leading Democrat Daniel Natchez by 53 to 47 percent -- a margin of
less than 200 votes.
Natchez, 71, is president of an environmental waterfront development design
consulting company. Natchez, a former village trustee, has said hasty
development can harm the village.
A village trustee race was even closer. Seeking re-election as village
trustee was Republican-Conservative Louis Santaro. Unofficial returns showed
Santaro leading Democrat Thomas Burt, 51 to 49 percent -- by a margin of
just 58 votes.
Town of Mamaroneck incumbents were unopposed on Tuesday. Town Supervisor
Nancy Seligson, a Democrat, was re-elected. Also unopposed in elections for
Mamaroneck Town Council seats were Democrats Thomas Murphy and Abby Katz.
In the village mayor's race, Natchez and Rosenblum differed the most in
their approaches to dealing with wildlife and water pollution. Democrats
released video of public meetings late in the campaign that showed Rosenblum
engaged in heated exchanges with Democratic trustees and cutting off
speakers during hearings.
Rosenblum has drawn fire from animal rights groups for advocating hiring
sharpshooters to help curb the suburban deer population in Mamaroneck, and
previously proposed a similar crackdown on wayward geese.
During the campaign, Natchez said: "It is important that we consider all
perspectives and that by the end of the process all sides have confidence
that they have had a full and fair hearing regarding wildlife. . . . I do
not support introducing guns and hunters into our dense suburban
neighborhoods in order to control deer populations."
