William Burton, District 9

Bill Burton moved to Ossining in 1985 and quickly became involved in the community, coaching youth sports and attending village and town board meetings.  He was elected Ossining Town Supervisor in 1991. During his tenure, he cut taxes in five of six budgets and managed to eliminate overlapping government departments by consolidating services with the Village of Ossining.  His leadership led to the purchase of Cedar Lane Park, the first acquisition of recreational land by the town in nearly 20 years.  His ideas on how to resolve septic problems along the town’s North State Road commercial corridor spurred economic development.

Bill retired from the Supervisor’s position at the end of 1997. In 1998, he joined Westchester County’s Taxi and Limousine Commission as an assistant to the Chair. He helped develop the rules and regulations for the industry-requested regulatory body and went on to serve as the Commission’s first violations prosecutor.

Late in 1999, Bill left Westchester government to found a community and government relations consulting firm. He considers his election as the 9th district’s County Legislator an opportunity to pursue his passion of making government work for the people.
