My Views

Bold leadership requires unwavering belief in a core set of values. You can learn more about my political beliefs on this page.

As an Republican candidate, my biggest goal is to work with Debbie Preston and the Republican majority to get the 50% of county sales tax revenue back into the towns of this county. I think it was very underhanded for the Demacratic Legislator of a few years ago to take the towns share of the sales tax. Steve Herz has voted to allow the county to retain this against the wishes of the towns Supervisors and Boards. I am a strong supporter of the Marcellus Shale Exploration and encourage New York State to lift the Moritorium. I believe this will be a cataylist to economic growth in our towns.

Here is what I want to do as your legislator:

Return the 50% county sales tax back to the Towns!

Get the County budget in line and reduce debt.

Tax Reduction, not raising new taxes!

Strengthen families through better education

Make sure every initiative is paid for in full – no new debt!

I've been out this last week knocking on Independent's doors and intoducing myself. I was nice to this with Executive Debbie Preston on Tuesday evening.

I was also able to get several campaign signs posted. If you would like to post one in your yard, please contact me.

Scott Baker Announces Run for Broome County Legislator District 2

Scott Baker announced today that he will run for Broome County Legislature this Fall in the new 2nd Legislative District.

The new 2nd District will include the Towns of Windsor and Sanford and most of the Town of Kirkwood.

Parts of the District are currently represented by Republican Legislator Marchie Diffendorf and by Democrat Legislator Steve Herz. Legislator Diffendorf does not plan to run for re-election.

A resident of West Windsor, Scott Baker works as an Account Executive at 3i Graphics and Signs in Binghamton. He's also an Assistant Chief of the West Windsor Fire Company and a member of the West Windsor Baptist Church.

Scott Baker's campaign will focus on decreasing the cost of County government, reducing borrowing and controlling property taxes.

"Eastern Broome County needs a conservative voice on the County Legislature", said Scott Baker. "With the exception of last year when Republicans regained the Majority on the Legislature, the previous five years of County Budgets increased property taxes and borrowing every year. And when County Executive Debbie Preston proposed cutting the salaries of political appointees by 5% earlier this year, all Democrats on the County Legislature opposed the money-saving plan. Steve Herz even voted for a failed amendment to exempt government lawyers from the pay cut. It's time for a change and I look forward to sharing my ideas as the campaign gets into full swing."
