SOUTH AMBOY – My name is Peter Pisar and I am running for mayor of South Amboy because I believe that I am the best candidate to create change through my three-point plan that entails improvement, innovation and greater involvement for the community.

As mayor, I will work to attract new businesses, including a supermarket, to improve the downtown commercial area, which will help stabilize/lower taxes and create economic growth for the city. I would look to support existing businesses by creating a strong core economic business development organization that will be based on not only input from business leaders but from members of the public as well.

Now is time for appropriate redevelopment. Proper redevelopment will address the city’s traffic, congestion and parking problems. We need to stop the overdevelopment of expansive townhouses and look to develop the waterfront as well as the downtown area. Furthermore, we need to eliminate wasteful spending by taking a transparent look at where every dollar is appropriated, determining where we can save money. 

We also need to be innovative in our thinking and work together to find real solutions and not just point out real problems. Solar power is becoming increasingly dependable and affordable, which is why the City of South Amboy needs to look at instituting this type of energy source to provide clean power while saving taxpayers money. 

Another innovative idea that we need to consider is to finally create a viable water taxi system solution that will not burden the taxpayer and will provide a streamlined, quick route to New York City for residents and commuters. 

If elected, I would also create an open and transparent form of government where everyone has a voice and the ability to contribute to the future direction of South Amboy. Communities are made up of people and we need to do a better job embracing, recognizing, listening, and caring for our citizens in every way possible. 

We should also have more community programs for our youth, seniors, and veterans which will provide them with positive opportunities to become more involved in their city. In addition, I would work as a tireless advocate to help stop the opioid/heroin drug problem in South Amboy, which has claimed far too many lives. I am a former Middlesex County Sheriff’s Officer and understand full-well the consequences of drug addiction. My ideas involve the application of strategies and tactics from my unique, aggressive, and practical anti-drug plan.
