Thanks, Tom Catillaz

To the editor:

Tom has been active in Saranac Lake village government over three decades. I served with him on the village board between 1997 and 2001. After serving as mayor, he returned to the board, where he served until this year.

A lot of good stuff happened on his watch: mental health housing built, infrastructure improved, new ski lodge built at Mount Pisgah, train station renovated, modern village garage built, skateboard park dedicated, homeless sheltered approved, modern fire trucks bought, etc., etc.

Tom impressed me with his thoughtfulness. He believes that rushing into things usually leads to mistakes. While the village does not have to exist, he believes that it is best able to provide the services that people want.

So the next time you see Tom, say “thanks.”
