A $50,000 state grant secured by Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano went a long way in funding a new public safety vehicle for the Village of Bellport. The Assemblyman, center, met with Don Mullins, Director of Code Enforcement for the village, and Mayor Maureen Veitch on Monday to check out the new ride. They also discussed issues and programs in the surrounding community and how they can become good partners in government to ensure that Bellport Village continues to prosper. “We both care about the constituents we represent,” the Assemblyman said. “I believe we will be able to build a great working relationship.”

They also talked about the need to support local businesses and how they both enjoyed the Bellport Chamber of Commerce’s soup competition last week. Photo courtesy of Assemblyman DeStefano’s office.
