Hi! I’m Dale Root, your Shelby Highway Superintendent. It has been a pleasure serving you and the town for the past 3 1/2 years! I am the endorsed Republican candidate and asking for your support as I seek re-election.

The town primary is June 27th. Please vote!

Below is a list of a few of our accomplishments during my tenure:

• Never going over budget! AND, working closely with the town board.

• Paved, repaired, and sealed over 18 miles of Shelby roads.

• Switched winter plowing and sanding to straight salt. Doing this lessens spring cleanup and saves us all tax dollars!

• We have implemented a high-speed water meter reading program reducing meter reading from one week to one day, saving us all tax dollars!

• Working with our Soil & Water office we came up with a solution alleviating flooding and potential health hazards on West Avenue Extension.

• Immediately respond to any water main breaks and continuously cleaning ditches & culverts in need of repair.

• We purchased a new High Lift at great savings to the town.

• We team with neighboring towns to share services saving tax dollars.

• I do not accept the NYS retirement and I decline (& discontinued) the town’s water stipend (saving the town thousands of dollars).

I believe Shelby is in a better place than when I was first elected. I take my role as custodian of our highway funds (our precious tax dollars) very seriously! We have always worked within our budget and frequently stay under budget. I’m asking your support as I seek re-election.

Dale S. Root
