2026 New York General Election

Said he wants to keep taxes in check and contain costs for taxpayers.

I am seeking the vote of all Goshen residents. I believe I am the candidate with the most knowledge to continue down the current path in keeping taxes in check. I also want the residents to know that with growth comes issues and we need to preserve the quality of life we currently have by understanding the growth issues and respecting the residents needs as well as cost containment for taxpayers.

Proposes a plan to demolish the Salesian building at zero cost to taxpayers.

The Salesian building has become a critical public safety issue. The building can no longer be maintained and needs to be demolished. The current board has been working on this issue for many years and a solution is in place to bring it down with a cost tag of almost 1 million dollars that we will borrow. I have a plan that will take the building down at zero cost to the taxpayer. If elected I will begin working on this plan immediately.

As of October 22, 2026, Joseph Betro did not have a website or any information online.

Economy

Calls for expanding existing parks and recreational areas and building new facilities for children and grandchildren.

With growth comes open access issues and I believe we have a big issue in this area. We need to expand on existing parks and recreational areas, we need to build some new facilities so that our children and grandchildren are afforded the same access that we have enjoyed. Currently, I am told, 35 snoopy soccer children had to be put on a waiting list and did not enjoy a season filled with friendship and laughter. This is unacceptable and we can do better.

Public Services

Wants to manage growth while preserving the town's quality of life and containing taxpayer costs.

Housing & Urban Development

Wants to ensure police and first responders have the tools needed to address growth.

I also want the residents to know that with growth comes issues and we need to preserve the quality of life we currently have by understanding the growth issues and respecting the residents needs as well as cost containment for taxpayers. Public safety can become an issue. I want to make sure our police and first responders have the tools needed to handle growth.

Proposes demolishing the Salesian building, which he says is a public-safety hazard that cannot be maintained.

As Town Supervisor, declared a state of emergency over flooding he said posed health and safety risks.

Meanwhile in Goshen, Supervisor Joseph Betro declared a state of emergency because "flooding conditions are dangerous and pose a real and substantial risk to the health and safety of those residing in certain areas of the town." "We lost about a dozen electrical poles they're cleaning up right now on Reservoir Road, probably got about 50 houses still completely out, but we're getting to it," Betro said.

Public Safety

Plans to address the town's water and sewer districts.

Currently, I am told, 35 snoopy soccer children had to be put on a waiting list and did not enjoy a season filled with friendship and laughter. This is unacceptable and we can do better. Another issue is our water and sewer districts. Water and sewer are essential components to our residents and they need addressing, I have a plan and I will work tirelessly until they are resolved.
