Re-Elect Roger Decker for Town of Rockland Superintendent of Highways

03/13/2026

Once again the work I help do as a Highway Superintendent shows that it is having an effect. We try to go up every year to Albany to fight for the funding needed so we can continue to make our roads safer and better. Funding that is imperative to the work that needs to be done. It looks like we definitely had an impact on the State Senate and State Assembly.

New legislation in Albany aimed at reducing road salt pollution is drawing support from environmental advocates and resistance from some local highway officials.

This is an unsafe pipe that we replaced this year. We still need to add the guardrails but you will notice the amount of shoulder we was able to gain to make the road safer. All of the pipe and stone was purchased last year and I was able to receive almost $20,000.00 reimbursement for all of the stone and pipe. This year I am expecting the excavator rental we needed to do the job to also be completely reimbursed. Under my leadership I am always looking to make our roads safer to all that travel and to save the tax payers money doing it. I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all that are supporting me and also to my crew! Please share if you would like to show support.

There are two bridges. One on Creamery road and one on River St. in Livingston Manor. I was notified about some trees completely across the stream between the two bridges. It was on private property but threatening to plug the bridge on River St in a high water event, which would no doubt cause a serious problem to the residents that live on River St. I contacted DEC and the land owner and got permission to remove it. A local resident was able to cut some of it I just had these trees removed from between the two bridges to help avoid a future problem. Thank you to all that helped to make this possible. If re-elected I will continue to look out for the residents in the Town of Rockland as much as humanly possible.

Serving Our Community with Pride and Accountability

Since being elected Highway Superintendent in 2022, I’ve focused on improving safety, efficiency, and the overall condition of our town’s roads and infrastructure. I want to share some of what’s been accomplished so far:
• Paved 24 miles of road
• Sealed 46 miles of road
• Replaced 2,250 feet of drainage pipe
• Implemented a guardrail replacement program so that every year, broken or damaged guardrails—some that have been that way for years—are being replaced
• Replaced 15 pieces of equipment to improve reliability and performance
• Completed numerous repairs and upgrades to the town barn
• Cleared additional land to create more space for material and supply storage

Part of being a Highway Superintendent is handling the paperwork and documentation needed to secure state funding. Every year, I’ve done that work to ensure our town receives the funding it deserves. So far, I’ve brought in $1,785,433.56 in state aid over my first three years in office, and I’m expecting close to $600,000 more this year.

In addition to that, I secured nearly $20,000 last year in reimbursement for the pipe and stone work completed on Brown Settlement Road, and I’m expecting another $60,000 in reimbursement for two major riprap repairs on Beaverkill Valley, the 5-foot pipe replacement on Mud Pond, and the one-month excavator rental needed to complete those jobs.

Every dollar received and reimbursed helps save taxpayer money while keeping our roads safe, reliable, and well-maintained.

I’m proud of the progress that’s been made and remain committed to serving our community with integrity, accountability, and care.

Something I have tried to do since being elected in 2022 is open communication with the public. I try very hard to return every phone call, email and letter. I also try to inform the public of road closures and delays by making a facebook post on the highway department’s page and I place a call to the 911 control center so our emergency services are informed.
I reached out to all of our local Fire Departments and EMS services and had my cellphone added to their messaging service so in the winter or during any storm if their is a need from our highway department I can dispatch help, often before it is requested.
If anyone would like to follow the Highway Department’s FB page here is the link.
