The website has been wiped clean for the most part.

Saladino was elected as Town of Oyster Bay supervisor in January.

If the reporting is accurate, I'm not sure I've seen voter turnout this low. I'll take it.

Her main issue is education. Makes sense considering she has been an elementary school teacher for over a decade.
