Gallo Hopes to Meet-and-Greet His Way to Re-Election

Despite the fact that it's a four-year office, it appears that Mayor Gallo's re-election effort is already in full swing:

Kingston Mayor Shayne Gallo continues his string of meet and greets this morning at the Broadway Lights Diner.

The mayor started the meet and greets during his campaign for office and has continued them ever since. He said it's a way to keep an open dialogue with residents.

Put another way, this is also a great way for an incumbent to campaign on the taxpayers' dime. And smart elected officials never stop campaigning.

Killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.
