The article reports that Colavita was seeking an eighth, two-year term as supervisor in 2019. It states: “Colavita thanked the committee for its nomination and endorsement and pledged to keep delivering excellent services and to keep spending and taxes in check, citing the tax increase for next year at less than 1 percent. Colavita also indicated that his experience will be utilized for the complex challenges that lie ahead for the Town of Eastchester and its two villages.”

In a Facebook statement quoted by the article, Colavita said: “We have made tough decisions and taken our lumps when making cuts in our spending and cutting costs while maintaining services. Towns that have financial problems get to keep their aid! So if you consolidate positions and departments, share services and make joint purchases, never exceed the tax cap, reduce your full time staff by 25%, secure a Triple AAA Moody’s rating and appear in the top 10 percent on the NYS comptroller’s list of the best fiscally managed towns, you get no aid. Eastchester residents pay a hell of a lot more to Albany then we get back.”

The article reports that Colavita spoke at a New York State budget hearing against municipal funding cuts in Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposed budget. In a Facebook statement quoted by the article, he wrote: “Wake up people! I attended the NYS budget hearing in Greenburgh sponsored by the NYS senators in our region to protest against the governor’s budget, which cuts $181,000 of funding for Eastchester. The recent legislation and executive orders passed in Albany need to be paid for and therefore towns like ours-which have strong financial health-are losing our funding”

Pledged to keep town spending and taxes in check while maintaining services by cutting spending and reducing costs.

Issues — Cat Sayles For Eastchester Town Supervisor

2. Compete aggressively for grants that fund infrastructure upgrades, road improvements, and community investments, so residents aren't footing the entire bill.

3. Coordinate with Tuckahoe and Bronxville on the roads, services, and infrastructure we share, so we plan smarter and spend less.

2. Go after the funding that makes school routes, crossings, and sidewalks safer, dollars Eastchester has been missing out on while traffic and congestion get worse.

3. Bring traffic calming to the corridors where speeding and congestion are worst.
